Mapping a Dilemma

A reflective tool for clarifying difficult decisions


About This Tool

Sometimes decisions are difficult not because the options are unclear, but because different priorities pull in different directions.This tool offers a way to reflect on a situation and make the underlying positions, values, tensions, and assumptions more visible.The goal is not to give advice, but to help you see the dilemma with greater clarity. It is designed to help make the structure of a dilemma more visible.The reflection you receive is intended to be read slowly and considered carefully. It may be helpful to revisit it after some time, as different aspects of the dilemma may become clearer on reflection.


How It Works

You describe a dilemma you are currently facing.The tool then generates a structured reflection that explores:• the different positions involved
• the values and priorities that may matter
• the tensions between competing considerations
• assumptions about how the future might unfold
It also offers a small set of questions to help you reflect further.



Who This May Be Useful For

This tool may be useful for individuals thinking through:• career decisions
• leadership challenges
• strategic choices
• personal dilemmas involving competing priorities


Note

If you know someone reflecting on a difficult decision, you may share this tool with them.Submissions may be anonymous.The reflection generated by this tool is intended only to support thoughtful consideration and does not provide advice or recommendations.
