The "Staying F.O.C.U.S.E.D." philosophy is a strategic thinking framework designed to help prepare the next generation of thought-leaders for a complicated world. By using this framework, you will learn BETTER, learn FASTER and learn MORE than you are used to.

The seven (7) F.O.C.U.S.E.D dice are designed based on an extensive survey carried out with business students and practitioners on what students (and managers) need to do to help take their learning to the next level.

The “Staying F.O.C.U.S.E.D.” dice framework has proven so useful that real organizations are using it to help their senior management and board of directors open up the ALTERNATIVES to better dealing with their UNSOLVED problems, issues and challenges.
