DOMINO MAP(TM) is the Performance Blueprint(TM) for decisions that actually hold up in execution.
Most initiatives fail after work starts, but the failure happens earlier: the outcome was vague, ownership was implied, constraints were ignored, and "approved" meant "we'll figure it out later." Then delivery absorbs the blame, leaders lose credibility, and the organization burns capacity on work that was never execution-safe. This book is not a framework to admire. It is a decision system to use. DOMINO MAP(TM) helps leaders make "Proceed" earned, and makes Stop, Fix, and Defer legitimate outcomes before resources are consumed. It gives you a disciplined way to govern decisions, prevent avoidable rework, and stop initiatives that cannot succeed as defined. What you will be able to do after reading: Diagnose why "approved" work collapses in execution, before it startsDefine business outcomes that are observable, measurable, and enforceableSeparate capability gaps from environment constraints (systems, incentives, process, capacity)Assign real accountability (not performative ownership) and clarify decision rightsUse the Performance Blueprint(TM) to convert ideas into a decision contractStop the default "training is the answer" reflex when the real problem is structuralMeasure impact as verification (not reporting theater)Scale what works without scaling unresolved riskWho this is for:
C-suite and senior leaders (COO, CFO, CHRO, CIO, Strategy, Transformation, PMO) who are tired of portfolio noise, rework, and "hope-based execution"L&D and Enablement executives (CLO, Heads of L&D, Enablement, OD) who are done being a course factory and want a governance standard that prevents unowned work from entering deliveryCross-functional leaders responsible for initiatives where results depend on behavior, systems, and accountabilityWhy DOMINO MAP(TM) is different:
It treats decision quality as an operational control, not a meeting outcomeIt forces clarity where most organizations tolerate ambiguityIt makes "Stop" a professional decision, not a political failureIt prevents wasted capacity by surfacing missing ownership, metrics, and constraints earlyIf you want inspiration, slogans, or permission to keep operating the same way, this book will frustrate you.
If you want a standard that makes decisions defensible, execution safer, and accountability real, start here.
