The Move Forward Method
By Trueward Consulting
A practical, repeatable system that helps client-facing teams prepare, align, and lead conversations with clarity and momentum.
​
Designed for the moment before action, used consistently across teams.
​
What the Method Is
The Move Forward System is the foundation behind everything we build at Trueward.
It is a simple, repeatable way for client-facing teams to pause, clarify their thinking, and decide how to move forward before meetings, decisions, and high-stakes conversations.
​
The system is built for experienced professionals who already know the work, but need a shared structure in moments where pressure, urgency, or competing priorities make it harder to lead with intention.
This is not theory.
​
It is a way of working that brings consistency to how teams think, prepare, and speak so conversations create direction, trust, and momentum.
​
Why Teams Need a System
Strategy rarely breaks down because people lack intelligence or effort.
It breaks down because teams rush past thinking and jump straight to execution, each person solving the same problem differently.
​
Without a shared system:
-
Preparation varies by individual
-
Meetings default to updates
-
Slides replace judgment
-
Clients experience inconsistency
​​
The Move Forward System creates a common approach without forcing a one-size-fits-all style.
The Four-Part System
The Move Forward System follows a simple four-part structure teams return to before conversations that matter.
​Think with Clarity
Step back to identify what actually matters before reacting.
​
Clarify the real issue, define the desired shift, and separate signal from noise.
​
Plan with Structure
Translate clarity into a focused, realistic path forward.
​
Organize priorities, define outcomes, and shape a plan that supports action, not overbuilding.
​
Say with Confidence
Lead conversations with a clear point of view.
​
Communicate what matters most so others understand, trust, and engage.
​
Engage with Impact
Turn intention into momentum.
​
Use dialogue to align stakeholders, build commitment, and move the work forward.
This structure creates a shared language teams can rely on before any client-facing moment.
Why the System Works
​
The Move Forward System works because it:
​
-
Creates space to think before action
-
Keeps focus on what actually moves the work forward
-
Provides a repeatable structure that works across meetings, projects, and conversations
-
Can be used consistently across individuals and teams
​​
It is practical, grounded, and designed for real constraints, not ideal scenarios.
​
