GEAR Model

GEAR Model compresses a messy business into a few moving parts. The compression loses detail and gains sight.

Remember that every model lies a little. The question is never 'is it true?' but 'is it useful here?' Used with that humility, this model earns its shelf space.

What this concept offers is a pause — one extra beat between what happens and what you do about it. Civilisation, someone said, is measured in that beat.

An organisation is only a group of people who have agreed, for now, to pull in roughly the same direction. The idea has done its job if, the next time it happens to you, you smile before you react.
