KX:1

Work with KX:1

Start with the level of enquiry that fits the problem.

KX:1 work begins by distinguishing the presenting symptom from the most plausible constraint. The next step depends on whether the work is individual, organisational, athletic, leadership-specific or private.

Diagnostic architecture

Two levels of enquiry

Performance may be constrained by something within the individual, something within the surrounding system, or an interaction between the two.

Seven Moves is KX:1’s general diagnostic discipline. The online Seven Moves Organisational Diagnostic applies that discipline at team and organisational level.

The Individual Performance & Change Diagnostic explores personal patterns and helps form hypotheses for deeper practitioner-led enquiry.

Used appropriately, the two levels create a more complete picture without confusing the person with the system around them.

Team and organisational enquiry

Person-level structured reflection

Individual Performance & Change Diagnostic

  • • Explores recurring patterns and contexts.
  • • Provides hypotheses for practitioner-led enquiry.
  • • May inform APEX, PERFORM or private 1:1 work.
  • • Does not provide a clinical diagnosis or psychometric assessment.

Application route

Describe the pattern. KX:1 will locate the right route.

If you already know the arena, choose it. If not, begin with an enquiry and the route can be calibrated from there.
