CONTEXT 

At times we often feel overwhelmed by situations which seem extremely complex, so complex that we feel we cannot really affront them in a logical, directed manner. However, not dealing with these issues will have consequences. The BIG Picture is a service which provides a fundamental first step in confronting the issues, by helping the participants define what actions can be carried out immediately and what further questions need to be answered in the near future.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES

  • Gantt of the actions which are necessary to move forward with the issues identified
  • Report including advised next steps from a strategical point of view
