What’s your customer’s or employer’s business and work model? It may follow the Handy/Hutchins model or be some variation. Critical questions to ask your employer or customer are:
Are you or your process part of your organization’s inner, middle, or outer rings.
If your process is not part of the organizational core, then what’s the chance it will be outsourced?
If you’re a middle manager, what does the organization want to do with your department or activities?
If you’re a middle ring person, a Brand U, what’s critical to your customer now, six months from now, and a year from now?
