Are YOU facing a difficult decision?

The outcome of your decision will be
determined by a SIMPLE formula.
Event + Response = Outcome
You cannot control Events.
You can only control your Response.
You must DECIDE how to RESPOND
to get the positive OUTCOME you want.

Why is it so difficult to decide HOW to respond?

There are 3 reasons it is difficult:

We often REACT, we do not RESPOND, so can over-react or under-react
There are always 2 Responses and each Response has unique Pros and Cons

(+ Outcomes and - Outcomes)

This puts us in a Decision Conflict

How can HARMONY help you make a good decision?

We designed the HARMONY App to guide you through 5 steps, each designed to help you avoid the 5 most common decision mistakes. It will allow you to make difficult decisions, better, faster and with confidence.

How can YOU avoid the mistake of REACTING?

To avoid either OVER- OR UNDER-REACTING, we should validate that the Positive or Negative Event (Problem) we feel pressure to respond to, is really important to us, and those we care about.

How to UNDERSTAND YOUR conflict & need?

To avoid just jumping to a solution, we should list BOTH options we have on how to RESPOND (the conflict) and for each option, list both the unique PROS you want and unique CONS you don’t want (the need).

How to find a win:win to RESOLVE your conflict?

To avoid having to live with any CONS or lose out on any PROS (the need), Harmony will guide you to create 4 win:win Resolutions so you can select the one with the most PROS and least CONS

How to ensure your solution will not FAIL?

To avoid the risk of your selected breakthrough failing, you and other people involved, should raise as many “Yes-Buts” and how to overcome these (the Yes-Ands) that can be added to your solution to reduce the risk of a bad outcome.

How to test your solution with an EXPERIMENT?

To avoid investing too much time and/or money before knowing whether your solution will actually work, Harmony will create a summary of the Why, What and How of your analysis to share with others that can help you test it with an experiment.

How to SHARE and LEARN from others

To collaborate and get feedback or allow others to learn from your experience, you can share your analysis via the Harmony App. If you do get stuck, you can also go to the Community Library to learn from other users that shared their analysis.

Why was it called HARMONY ?

“Harmony”, in the non-musical context has two meanings; “free from disagreement or dissent” and “combining parts to form a consistent or pleasing whole” (from the Greek word “Harmonia”). Musical “Harmony” is when a composer and or conductor achieves “the successful combination of musical notes, arranged and played simultaneously by musicians around the same melody”. When harmony is achieved, it means the composer achieved the successful combination of notes into a sound pleasing to the ear (the intended market for the composers’ music).

We know that even the best musicians lead by the best conductor will only create noise or disharmony unless they are all playing from the same “Sheet of Music”. In the same way, even the best employees and best leadership will cause disharmony and poor performance unless they are all aligned and synchronized, working from the same business strategy.

A Strategy & Tactic tree can provide organizations their common “Sheet of Music” to synchronize and focus management and all employees on the few highest leverage changes necessary to achieve the organizational goals.

Harmony S&T Software provides managers now with a practical tool and structure to capitalize on the S&T breakthrough by Dr. Eli Goldratt to facilitate the design, communicating, validating, planning, execution monitoring and auditing (to provide fast feedback) of a “Harmonious Business Strategy” to achieve & sustain the desired growth and stability objectives within organizations.

Harmony supports also all three S&T construction methods. For those users that want to develop an S&T from scratch using for example the Viable Vision process above, it guides users through a list of questions to complete the S&T level by level. For those users that want to customize one or more of the generic S&Ts developed by Dr. Eli Goldratt or by other Harmony Users, Harmony offers users access to the Goldratt S&T library and Public Community Library from which they can copy parts or even whole S&Ts for customization. Lastly, Harmony also supports the Change Matrix Cloud Process developed by Dr. Alan Barnard to enable any manager to develop the S&T node(s) for their part of the organization.
