Testimonials
Petra Wille
"The Decision Stack is such a powerful mental model. It has helped me unblock countless organisations lost in creating their strategy and defining meaningful goals and objectives, it brings clarity and simplicity to what feels complicated and challenging, and helps everyone connect the dots - bringing directional clarity to the whole organisation."
Christina Wodtke
"The Decision Stack is the glue that connects all the tools leaders need for strategic alignment, great OKRs, and focus for their teams."
Matt LeMay
"I truly, TRULY love the Decision Stack. It’s the best kind of framework: a simple visualization that both explains and systematizes a small handful of important concepts."
Arne Kittler
"The Decision Stack increases clarity for everyone from CEO to individual contributor. It has helped to sharpen our collective understanding of how the different directional elements play together and improved the conversations we are having about our direction and how to best convey it."
