The benefits of clarity and confidence
Start with focus

Be thorough
The Index is a checklist of best practices. It keeps you from missing something, which can save having another meeting. Don’t hear your boss ask, “Didn’t you forget X? Start at Level 2 with your team and work down.
Understand each other
How many people don’t sit silently when they don’t understand a key term? Using the standard language makes informed conversations possible. It then lets you delegate with clear direction and full understanding.
Include the right people
You need everyone working together to tackle the big things. The Index shows you who should be in each discussion, which breaks down silos and builds connections. One user said, “Now I see how what I do helps you guys!”
