How to ask your question
Describe one situation you want to examine from multiple angles. For a closed binary choice, use Yes or No. For a deep 10-card analysis, choose Celtic Cross.
Question examples
- How should I assess the choice between my current role and an offer from another company?
- What supports and what slows our agreement to collaborate on a joint project?
- Where will the conflict with my colleague lead if I continue avoiding the conversation?
What the four positions mean
The center reveals the essence of the situation. Above sits what works against it (resistance), to the left is what supports it (resources), and to the right is the probable outcome.
Positions
- 1 Essence of the situation
- 2 What works against it
- 3 What supports it
- 4 Outcome
If support and resistance seem evenly matched
Examine the outcome card and the practical cost of each path. Do not pull additional cards for the same question. If you need to pinpoint the root cause of a problem, choose Pyramid.
