Sense the shift before your dashboard does.
Two chasms, five states. One assessment that tells you where your team is standing, and which leap comes next.
Moore found one chasm. Teams fall into a second.
The grey parts are Moore’s adoption curve from Crossing the Chasm (1991). The amber parts are what this framework adds: a second chasm, five states, and the leap between them.
Five states. You are standing on one.
Reflex
Control by default. Plans, approvals and the dashboard are treated as the truth.
Playground
Control → trust. Attention protected. Candor before feedback. Safe-to-fail experiments.
Signal Sensing
People notice first. Leading signals get logged before the lagging metrics move.
Immune
Metrics → signals. An immune system instead of a perimeter.
Mutation
The capacity to change the model itself, not just adapt inside the one you have.
Two chasms. Neither is crossed once.
Most transformations that look finished have crossed the first and are quietly falling into the second.
The Playground
control → trustAttention protected. Candor before feedback. Safe-to-fail experiments.
Immune
metrics → signalsLeading signals paired to lagging metrics. An immune system instead of a perimeter.
Where’s your team? Find the ball.
Answer as a team. You get the state you’re in, the chasm in front of you, and the workshop that gets you across. Then share the card.
Fourteen workshops. One per leap.
Every workshop runs off one chapter of the books and ends with something the team keeps. Three are ready to run today.
The Innovation Matrix
Circle two cells. Say no to fourteen.
Signal Mapping
For every lagging metric, the signal that moves first.
IMMUNE / SignalNet
A live SignalNet in ninety minutes.
The framework was written as a story first.
Meet the cast before you meet the model: eight roles you already work with.
