A key challenge in any business or enterprise is figuring out how to take your ideas and opportunities and transform them into your reality.

Our world is complex, dynamic and competitive.  Success is based on our ability to capture opportunity while navigating hazards and being subject to shocks.

Creating Preferred Future’s Jigsaw methodology & tool set is designed to enable you to succeed in this environment. 

Your JigSaw Logic Model – getting everything & everyone on the same page. 

● Maps how resources flow through your value chain to deliver client value & strategic intent

● Identifies system interdependencies, cause-effect relationships and their impact on growth, performance, and productivity

● Enables benchmarks and cost analysis for each operational element

Strategic Alignment (Contribution Mapping) – Defining clearly what you do to deliver and create day to day value and link it with your strategic intent.

● Connects value chain KPIs to strategic objectives

● Maps how each element contributes to subsequent elements (cascade effect)

● Ensures operational activities directly support strategic intent

Disruption (Convergence Mapping) – How you respond to shocks to protect and exploit

● Analyses external influences (market changes, regulations, ESG, competition)

● Maps both threats TO your value chain and opportunities to DISRUPT others

● Identifies intersection points where change will have maximum impact

Activation (Development Pathways) – Activating your strategy and approach

● Bridges gaps between current and desired performance

● Aligns initiatives with resource development

● Ensures investments build both immediate performance AND future capability

The components join up in the following way, working as systems not silos.

Not sure what you need? All of the steps have the flexibility and potential to fit together in differing sequences to support you in:

  • Planning
  • Performance management
  • Adapting to change

Realistic systemic framing is essential to creating purposeful change.

The traditional focus on little boxes and silos just don’t get us the results we seek.

Jigsaw Logic allows you to understand how place, economic, social and environmental systems operate, interconnect and from this clarify cause-effect, develop scenarios analysis based on your theory of change, activate and manage them.

Critical thinking, combined with the Jigsaw Logic enables you to productively deliver and create new value with strategic intent. Unify your strategic initiatives into one place so you and your team moves faster, stays aligned, and delivers impact.
