Revenue slows, costs rise. Which do you solve first?
Instinct and experience carried you here. Right now the reasoning lives in your own head, defended in meetings rather than shown, while the people who must act on it wait — and the role does not pause so you can step out and learn how to lead it.
The programme runs for 6 months. Complete the workshops and submit and present your team project during Session 3 as part of the six-month programme. Reinforce your learning with a programme assignment using the Leverage Management System (LMS) as part of the six-month programme. Program guidance throughout the programme duration, with LMS access and digital resources.
From carrying the decision alone to leading it.
Both states are things you do, not things that happen to you. 6 training days across 3 scheduled sessions; the applied work happens in your organisation between them.
Attend three face-to-face workshop sessions, using case studies, simulations, diagnostics, profiling, group discussions and experiential activities.

Seven disciplines, used as one decision process.
FAST™ — Framework Adaptive Systems Thinking — belongs to Asian Business Consulting (ABC). Each discipline is a distinct lens. Used together, the seven lenses help you make sense of complex situations and test your decisions.
Trace the wider system
Examine causes, dependencies and likely consequences before deciding.
Trace how incentives, information flows and delays combine to produce the result.
Test the foundations
Separate verified constraints from assumptions, then build options from the evidence.
Separate verified constraints from inherited assumptions before building an answer.
Combine analysis and invention
Develop options that balance strategic logic, user needs and practical constraints.
Use analysis and creative exploration together when one mode cannot resolve the problem.
Structure complexity
Organise complex information into a decision that can be explained and acted upon.
Apply a repeatable structure to define the question, evidence, options and decision criteria.
Review five perspectives
Evaluate each decision through five defined business perspectives.
Review the decision through five defined perspectives before committing resources.
Connect strategy to delivery
Use Draw, Drive, Define and Deliver as one coherent planning process.
Connect direction, drivers, definition and delivery in one strategy process.
Connect people and business
Consider human capability, innovation and commercial requirements together.
Evaluate people, capital, customers and growth as parts of the same operating system.
From a well-framed question to measurable value.
The FAST™ sequence connects problem framing, questions, options, solutions and value. Each stage produces the input required by the next. Right Questions is where you choose the question that serves the people the decision affects — real leadership is servant leadership: it is measured by the people it serves.
Leadership capabilities you can apply at work.
The method develops decision capabilities; business outcomes depend on the participant’s evidence, choices and execution.
Structured decisions
Define the problem, evidence, assumptions, options and decision criteria before committing.
System-level analysis
Trace second-order effects across customers, people, economics and execution.
Action under uncertainty
Use a framework to identify what is known, what requires testing and which decision cannot wait.
Visible reasoning
Document how a decision was reached so teams can review, align and execute.
Learned by doing, across 6 months.
The programme uses cohort-based workshops, program guidance and a team project to connect professional learning with immediate workplace application. Attend all six training days and complete the team project. Missed sessions must be made up in a subsequent cohort.
Live framework workshops
Faculty introduce each discipline, demonstrate its use and guide participants through applied cases.
Guided learning
Program guidance throughout the program duration helps you frame the problem, use evidence and put the frameworks into practice.
team project
You use the frameworks to develop a transformation plan for your own organisation.
Upon successful completion, you will be awarded the Executive Master's in Business Administration on Future Ready Business Leadership. The programme is recognised by CMI against the CMI Professional Standards. It is non-academic, not an MQA-accredited academic degree or a regulated qualification. Recognised management and leadership development that you can include on your professional profile.
Attend all six training days and complete the team project. Missed sessions must be made up in a subsequent cohort.
The method
FAST™ Framework Adaptive Systems Thinking
FAST™ belongs to Asian Business Consulting (ABC), which designs and delivers the programme.
The problem under the problem.
The system, not the symptom.
Options you can compare honestly.
The reasoning, so others can test it.
With a plan someone owns.
Why it works
Every decision, tested four ways.
Business school splits problems by subject. Real problems arrive as one system. Every decision you bring is tested against four connected lenses, so you create the right value, deliver it, capture it and keep the ability to repeat it.
Do customers and stakeholders genuinely want it?
Can we create and deliver it with what we have?
Does it create sustainable economic and strategic value?
Can our people and culture execute, learn and adapt?
Discuss the decision you are carrying right now.
Tell us the decision or business issue you are weighing, and choose a call, online meeting, in-person meeting or email. We will answer questions about suitability, dates, fees, recognition and employer-led HRD Corp funding. An enquiry does not commit you to enrol or pay.
