". . . a refreshing business read that captures important insights about problem-solving and provides the reader serious food for thought. Unlike business books that share compelling theory but little guidance about how to apply the theory, it gives readers a useful and accessible toolkit for problem-solving."

"FrameShifting is an essential read for those looking to lead in the future. It is strategic, practical and focused. What I love most about this leadership tool is that it centers on problem solving as a process."

FrameShifting is a unique user-centered guide to collaborating with others that combines structure and creativity. In these pages you will learn the FrameShifting methodology—from how to frame the “real problem” to selecting, validating and applying frameworks.
It’s a slim volume packed with practical advice, helpful checklists, and a troubleshooting guide—along with delightful illustrations for an enjoyable, thought-provoking read.
FrameShifting breaks new ground with the concept of Frame Archetypes and a quiz to help you discover yours. It profiles the FrameBuilder, FrameSeeker, FrameMaster and FreeRadical using real-life examples to describe their skills, Achilles’ heels, and opportunities for growth.
From the forward: “What Alison and Mary have done is to illuminate the discipline of problem framing and using frameworks effectively, making what has historically been more of an art into a learnable science that consultants of all flavors can use to increase the impact of their work with clients.
However, this book is not just for consultants. It’s for anyone who wants to engage others in the exploration and solving of tough problems. FrameShifting is as much a collaboration approach as it is a problem-solving approach.”
