CHAPTER 4: THE FIVE ANCHORS

Before we dive into the caselets, there is a core set of information applied to each caselet which guides a potential “solution.” We call this framework the Five Anchors and it revolves around a series of 15 questions in five key areas. These questions (numbered below) allow you to focus on fundamental management areas from an enterprise perspective. Each question is further expanded in the bullets.
