Quantum Leap Framework (updated)
Nick Fellers | October 2, 2009
I posted a first iteration of QLF in July. Have updated below…
Have a look below at our Quantum Leap Framework. We use this as a FRAMEWORK for conversation, services, training, solutions and more (just about everything, really, that involves taking some sort of a QUANTUM LEAP with your FOR IMPACT organization.)
Hopefully you will find this transcends funding issues and offers a framework for organizational IMPACT and INCOME. Moreover, this is applicable to any organization/business/movement looking to Take a Quantum Leap.,
FRAMEWORK: A framework can be adapted to situations and organizations. It’s not a one-size fits all process. It provides a pathway for thinking through a challenge or complex issues including but not limited to:
- How to make a quantum leap with your organization
- How to re-design
- Facilitating training/coaching/strategy sessions
- Launch a campaign
- Start-up or re-start
- Jumpstart funding
- Engage board members or stakeholder groups at a higher level
- Strategic planning
- Designing a launching a start-up venture (any sector)
I think the applications are limitless.
Here are some example applications:
On Campaigns: A campaign is a strategic component of the framework. (The campaign ‘process’ is determined by the VISION/PEOPLE.)
Strategic Planning: Most strategic plans talk about the how-to without ever going up to the ‘vision level’ to get consensus about the ‘where to’ or ‘why’ which is needed for SIMPLICITY.
People/Process/Performance: A little bit of Jim Collins’ notion – get the right people on the bus first – then you can drive the bus anywhere (perhaps with a clear process and ways to measure performance).
Board Meetings: Use this framework to differentiate between Vision/Strategy/Execution. (Hint – stay at Visionary level with time to dip down / frame strategy.)
Decision-Making: Action/Execution starts by ‘drawing the line in the sand’
For me, this FRAMEWORK captures components of BIG CHANGE… BIG LEAPS!

Please leave a comment – tell me how this framework applies to your org/operation/situation.

Nick – we introduced the altitude (now Quantum Leap) framework at our July board meeting. It definitely took everything up several levels. Our chair said it was the most productive conversation he’s ever been a part of with the team. Pretty cool. Onward!
