pearl
you are in a specific situation where multiple – at times competing – forces make it difficult to decide what path to best follow.
Making healthy decisions, even in difficult situations, help advancing the endeavour and make progress.

Any decision made results in a new context
A pearl is like a pattern, yet differs in subtle ways:
- wish rather than problem is the character of the pearl, simply because of this:
- Focus on your problems and your goals disappear.
- Focus on your goals and your problems disappear.
- BLUF gets you started quickly by pulling the therefore and constitution to front, while pushing the – often long-winded – rationale to the end, unlike the pattern that follows the problem with the rationale.
pearls have a simple and fixed structure:
name → context → wish → therefore → constitution → rationale.

pearls capture working wisdom – knowledge, skills and experiences – to enjoy your work and life more than before. For example, the talking stick helps you have your say during meetings.
So, if you have a problem, first turn it into a wish and look for the right pearls. Rethink problems to pearls.
