The Evaluate voice in its functional version:

“Here’s an Executive Summary…”

“To summarise where we are: the team’s completed the discovery work…”

“Thinking about this decision through a variety of lenses, I wonder what our heads…hearts…and gut instincts are telling us.”

“This really comes down to whether we want to take a calculated risk now or wait until things feel more certain.”

“Let’s go through the strengths and risks of each of those options.”

“We need to think about what matters most here; is it stability or is it growth?”

“On the one hand I think the promotion would be amazing…The flip side of it might be…”

“That idea does excite me but on the other hand I am nervous about the commitment.”

“So we’ve got three different proposals in front of us. We now need to compare and decide between them and we also need a basis for doing that, so let’s start by comparing them in terms of cost, quality and timescales…”

“On the surface it looks like an attractive proposition. I liked them and it was well presented, but it was hard to see what their numbers were based on and they didn’t demonstrate much depth of experience.”

“The strength of our customer brand is…however the weakness…“

“Well the upside of this car model is…the downside is…“

“It’s pretty clear here that the feedback loops don’t work and that people don’t listen.”

“In my judgement, I think that’s a really bad idea. That wouldn’t get us very far at all.”

“The Team Leaders won’t manage the work because their time management skills are lacking.”

“Yeah, you got the result but did you really do enough? I’m not sure from what you’re telling me that you really put the effort in. I think you were quite lucky actually.”

“The exercise was way too long, way too complicated; you didn’t give people enough time to complete the exercise either.”

“It’s not exactly rocket science for you to decide here.”

“You just never listen, do you?”

“You just keep doing the wrong thing, why can’t you do things right for once?”

“The problem here is you love starting something new but you just don’t follow through.”

“I suppose we should probably go through the strengths and risks of all of them, even though some of them are obviously wrong.“
