The Signal House approach
Inside the half-day workshop
- Set the question.
- We agree one planning question and scenario beforehand. In the room, use our Stress–Trigger–Crisis framework to map the external pressures.
- Test your strategy.
- Our Propagation Pathway mapping connects those pressures to your business and supply chain, exposing assumptions to challenge.
- Choose your response.
- Use our Exposure × Controllability matrix to prioritise responses. Leave with shared maps, signals to monitor and next steps with owners. A concise synthesis follows.
The Signal House approach
Inside the one-hour briefing
- See the external picture.
- We connect changing external pressures to your planning agenda through Signal House’s Stress–Trigger–Crisis framework.
- Make sense of the connections.
- Short examples and discussion introduce Propagation Pathways and Exposure × Controllability: how disruption spreads, where you’re exposed and what you can influence.
- Sharpen the discussion.
- Leave with a shared view of what’s changing, what to watch and which strategic assumptions to question.
