Perspective Intelligence: A new trait for global leaders.
Unwelcome perspectives lead to faster, better decisions
In global businesses, daily stressors make us ignore unique perspectives. Many leaders will recognize these dilemma’s:
- We converge fast to keep momentum, then spend weeks undoing a decision nobody believed in.
- The loudest voices dominate; people with inconvenient views go quiet until after the meeting.
- We claim “diversity of thought,” but pushback often is just theatre: the final decision is already made.
- Blind spots never get talked about, but show up in rework, delayed milestones, and delayed decisions.
- I need quicker, clearer decisions that stick, without groupthink. And I need real buy-in from the people who execute.
DISAGREEMENT, RUN WELL, IS THE SHORTEST PATH TO DECISION SPEED.
Perspective Intelligence is the discipline of deliberately taking in radically different mental models. It turns controlled disagreement into speed. We widen and sharpen inputs, then test our views rigorously so the best idea survives contact with reality.
Learn the 3-Step ‘Blind-Spot Scan’ to state the core of the idea, expose hidden assumptions, and hunt evidence that may destroy our views. Then we run the ‘5-Minute Red-Team Drill’: it follows tight roles and exact prompts to pressure-test plans rigorously, without blame.
Perspective Intelligence leads to faster decisions, fewer reversals, and genuine buy-in because dissent was used, not ignored. This keynote is provocative, practical, and usable the same day. If you dare to face different perspectives.
PERSPECTIVE INTELLIGENCE TURNS UNWELCOME PERSPECTIVES INTO EXECUTION POWER.
- Perspective Intelligence and the model describing it: Breadth of Input × Contest Quality × Lock-In.
- Rigorously review your current strategy using different perspectives: the blind spots will emerge, and can be addressed instead of ignored
- The 5-Minute Red-Team Drill is a fun way of testing plans: define roles, decide on prompts that test your assumptions, and follow rules that sidestep politics.
- Language to invite dissenters and operators; protocols to test what people say, and what they mean to say.
- Program yourself with a constructive and critical, rather than negative and defensive mindset
- Metrics: decision lead time, reversals, reopenings: simple templates to register the gains and take these back to work
Practical
Frank’s keynotes are lively, funny, yet grounded in deep research about the topics he is speaking about. Striving for maximum interaction, he will invite the different perspectives living in the room. Use his keynotes as a katalyst to discuss the undiscussable with your teams, or include a talk by Frank in the next offsite when different – and perhaps unwelcome – perspectives should be heard.
Keynotes are 30-75 minutes and always tailored to the needs of your audience, and your intentions for the event.
