Strategy Coach — Clarity + Alignment

Feed Forward

Purpose

Replace backward-looking feedback with future-focused suggestions

How to Use

From KCEN Feed Forward Process PDF. 1. Group sits in a circle (4-10 people). 2. One person presents their challenge in 3-4 minutes: background, implications for business, solutions already explored. 3. They turn their chair to face outward with pen and paper ready. 4. The group discusses the challenge as if the person is not there -- using curiosity rather than advice: 'I wonder if they've thought of...' not 'They should...' -- asking more questions than making suggestions. 5. After 10-30 minutes, the presenter turns back and shares what landed as most useful. 6. Rotate to the next person.
