SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Understands and operationalizes the two-axis mental model that distinguishes Director-level thinking from PM thinking: Altitude (how wide you zoom out) and Horizon (how far ahead you look). This framework helps diagnose transition friction, define what changes at leadership levels, and apply Cascading Context Maps when organizational direction is vague or absent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-axis model: Altitude (scope) and Horizon (time) to frame decision-making from product teams to portfolios.
  • Four Transition Zones: Zone 1 Thinking Altitude, Zone 2 Persona Shift, Zone 3 Hero Syndrome Recovery, Zone 4 Direction Creation.
  • Cascading Context Map: a six-step method to translate high-level strategy into team-level accountability and execution.
  • Applications: coaching newly promoted Directors, scaling organizations, and aligning teams with incomplete direction.

Quick Start

Draw your Altitude & Horizon map for your current role and identify your weakest transition zone.
