Business problem-solving software for owners
Look, Bearings, Next move and Reality check: a continuing way to understand the situation, act together and learn from what actually happens.
Your manager coordinates. You keep the decision.
The Reality Skill Loop has four stages: Look, Bearings, Next move and Reality check. After each Reality check, you continue, adjust or change course, and the loop starts again.
Look
Describe the situation and the result you want. Keep your current explanation visible without treating it as the diagnosis. A Focus Card names that result, your explanation, the most important unknown and a question worth investigating. It helps you begin when you do not yet know what is holding the business back.
Bearings
Bring in the manager closest to the problem and the person who speaks with customers where useful. Compare what each person observed, what they inferred and what would change their view. At the Reveal, place the owner’s starting view beside the others without averaging away sources or disagreement. Ask what small test could distinguish the explanations.
Next move
A Next move can be a test, a request for information, a decision or a pause. The owner chooses and names the responsible person, limits and expected signal. Choose an adjustable Reality Date when useful evidence may be available. A manager can coordinate preparation and execution within approved boundaries; participation does not transfer the owner’s decision right.
Reality check
Record what happened, what changed and what you will do next. The result is not visible yet is a valid answer. Compare actual observations with the earlier expectation, then continue, adjust or change course. Preserve why the course changed so the next investigation can build on what the company learned.
