The iCue engagement process™


A conversational approach to learning and sensemaking from events
About iCue™
iCue is a visual framework for understanding and visualising how human beings make decisions. The word iCue is not accidental but rather comes from the criticality of understanding the many ‘cues’ people give us in conversation if we have developed skills in effective listening and open questioning. The idea of being intelligent about these ‘cues’ is central to the iCue Engagement Process.
You will learn:
- How to listen, map and ask open questions in a conversation
