Our team has very high Fact Finder and Follow Through scores on the Kolbe index, which means we naturally get bogged down in deep research. How do we keep our momentum from stalling during the ninety days between our quarterly sessions when we do not have you in the room to push us forward?

A team with high Fact Finder and Follow Through scores on the Kolbe index is exceptional at creating detailed processes, but you face a distinct risk of getting stuck in analysis paralysis between our sessions. When you do not have an external facilitator pushing you, your natural conative instinct is to gather more data rather than taking decisive action. To maintain momentum during the ninety days, you must deliberately fight this internal resistance. We do this by chunking your quarterly Rocks into small, binary weekly milestones that require zero research to verify. Do not let your team set Rocks that require endless investigation before execution can begin. In your weekly Level 10 Meetings™, treat every stalled action item as a behavioral block rather than an information shortage. When a high Fact Finder executive says they need more data, apply a strategic pause. Ask them if they have eighty percent of the information required to move forward. If they do, push for immediate execution. We will also structure your ninety day execution cycle to align with Kolb experiential learning principles. We will move your team quickly from abstract conceptualization to active experimentation. By forcing concrete experiences, such as launching a basic prototype of a process rather than writing a fifty page manual, we bypass the need for endless study and keep your execution moving at a rapid pace.
