Creating order out of chaos

One of the things I’ve found most helpful throughout my professional career are tools that help me bring order to chaos and make the complex simple.  This has helped me focus my thinking and explain complex topics to others.

One of the best frameworks I have found is the 2x2 matrix, which provides a great structure to frame complex concepts.

On this site I’ll share some of the ones I use, along with explanations and downloadable templates for PowerPoint and Google Slides, so you can use them in your presentations. Some of these are quite well-known and should be part of everyone’s business vocabulary. The others are ones I’ve developed or picked up during my career.
