Acute Decision Protocol
When the situation can't wait.
Select the one that best describes what you are facing right now.
An associate, co-founder, or critical staff member is leaving or has just left.
A key client has left or signaled they might — and the impact is significant.
A partner, supplier, or distributor is pulling out or threatening to do so.
A major financial decision requires commitment before a hard deadline.
A high-value opportunity has appeared and you have limited time to decide whether to pursue it.
A conflict between people, departments, or stakeholders is paralyzing execution.
An external constraint — financial, regulatory, or operational — is forcing you to restructure now.
Your situation is not listed above. You will describe it in the next step.
