Six Strategic Lenses for Breakthrough
In every applicable case validated, the primary Creative Pivot lens recommended by Ramus matched the mechanism that actually produced the breakthrough.
Economic Reframe
Reframes the dispute as a risk management exercise. Uses decision-tree analysis, expected value calculations, and cost-of-litigation comparisons to find the rational settlement zone.
Narrative Bridge
Identifies competing stories each party tells and constructs a bridge narrative both can accept. Moves parties from adversarial positions to shared understanding.
Future-Focus
Shifts attention from past grievances to future outcomes. Emphasises the cost of prolonged uncertainty, the value of finality, and what each party needs going forward.
Power Rebalance
Addresses imbalances in bargaining power. Helps the weaker party assert legitimate interests and the stronger party recognise the risks of overreach.
Ubuntu / Shared Humanity
Draws on the South African principle of interconnectedness. Most effective in disputes with ongoing relationships, community dimensions, or restorative justice potential.
Cultural Bridge
Multi-cultural sensitivity, language considerations, religious and customary contexts, and cross-cultural communication strategies including tribal sovereignty.
