About INDEXES™

A flexible framework for navigating change

INDEXES™ can provide structure to an individual coaching conversation, a longer coaching journey, a team process or an organizational transition. It offers a way of thinking about what may need attention without forcing every transition into a rigid sequence or predetermined path.

IDENTIFY
Explore what is happening, what matters and what may need attention.

NEGOTIATE
Surface tensions, assumptions, needs and different perspectives, and explore what needs to be reconciled or renegotiated.

DECIDE
Turn greater awareness into choices about direction, priorities or what comes next.

EXECUTE
Translate choices into action, experimentation or new ways of moving forward.

SUSTAIN
Notice what is changing, learn from experience and explore what can help sustain progress over time.

The five elements of INDEXES™ are not mandatory stages and do not need to be followed in a fixed sequence.

I — IDENTIFY / N — NEGOTIATE · Notice what stands out
