Decide at the right level
Imagine you're at the helm of a ship: to reach your destination, you need to ensure the steering wheel is pointing in the right direction. Your strategic compass is telling you where to go; your metrics are the landmarks. Businesses, however, are more complex than a ship: often, we see individuals or departments steering in different directions, going astray or headed for collision. The Five Control Wheels are a simple decision tool preventing this.
Aligning Business Metrics into Five Wheels
VXS Decision isn’t just about tracking numbers—it’s about understanding the five key layers that drive execution: Individual, Team, Product/Project, Portfolio, and Organization. We call these the "Five Control Wheels" because they function like a dynamic system, where each layer influences the next.
Unlike traditional models that overwhelm executives with endless reports, VXS Decision leverages the Five Wheels to focus only on what matters:
- Individuals control actions.
- Teams control workflows.
- Products control deliverables.
- Portfolios control resource allocation.
- Organizations control market positioning.
Here’s the key insight: influence ripples outward, but control does not. Executives influence the system, but they don’t control execution directly. VXS Decision ensures that control stays local while influence scales. Combining the Five Wheels with the SCOPE Model, VXS Decision pinpoints where strategy isn’t translating into execution, ensuring leaders can effectively intervene at the right level, with the right people.
How the Five Wheels Create Focus
VXS Decision doesn’t just track data—it tells you exactly where to look and when to act. Instead of drowning in reports, leaders get:
- Lean insights - filtering out noise and identifying real gaps.
- Clear accountability - knowing who owns the issue and how to fix it.
- Faster execution - removing decision bottlenecks by focusing only on what’s relevant.
With the Five Wheels and the SCOPE Model, VXS Decision ensures that control stays local, influence remains systemic, and execution is always aligned with strategy.
Final Thought: The End of Decision Paralysis
Executives don’t have time for noise. They need clarity. The Five Control Wheels, powered by the SCOPE Model, ensure that VXS Decision delivers exactly that— fewer decisions, faster execution, and maximum impact. No unnecessary reports. No wasted time. Just precision and results.
