Product Description
How do you start a story? XPLANE Discovery Cards help uncover the heart of the issue at hand. These cards and exercises give you and your group a way of starting conversations, listening to each other and moving toward possible solutions. These thought starters are designed to prompt storytelling - which can be useful in getting started or unstuck in any endeavor - from vision and strategy through change and conflict resolution. XPLANE can also create a custom deck, designed to drive your conversations and outcomes. XPLANE's Discovery Cards help you rapidly diagnose how your clients view issues affecting their business, how issues relate to each other and how they currently intend to approach them. Your client uses them to think through and discuss the issues that are important to them, allowing you to listen and ask more relevant questions. The cards can be used by anyone who has an interest in uncovering business issues and moving towards solutions - a manager, trusted advisor, mentor, consultant or salesperson. In this context, a client is any person or group that is interested in better understanding and improvising their current situation - peers, employees, prospects or customers.
