Opponent Processing Scales

Report

Based on Opponent Processing Theory, Opponent Processing Scales help a team identify areas for improvement. It does this by framing team problems as a problem of tuning between two legitimate poles or extremes.

If we can see our ways of working and problems as tuning over optimizing, it allows for a more open and collaborative conversation. It helps teams articulate why they are leaning towards one approach over another without allocating blame.

It's for any team who is looking to solve problems collaboratively.
