Ask, Map, Move, run on a department.
The Of One method, used on how a department runs: name the outcome, trace where the work changes hands, then build one workflow and measure it. Of One publishes the complete method at of1.ai.
Ask: name the outcome and the owner
Before a meeting is cut or an agent is added, we pin down eight things: who owns the decision, the result that matters, the department’s current facts, the constraints that will not move, the available levers, the path of change, the proof we will look for, and the decision date.
Map: trace the handoffs
A department map follows requests from arrival to done: which team touches them, where they wait, and where status gets retyped by hand. The delays usually sit between teams, not inside them.
Move: one workflow, measured
We build the smallest change that checks the shakiest assumption, on one workflow, with its before-and-after time recorded. It is extended once the measurements back it up.
How the method shows up
A Consult block uses it from the first question to the first routine. Build engagements use it every week. In both cases you learn it well enough to use it with your own leads.
