GLAS Original: The GLAS Focus Process

£4.95

The GLAS Focus Process helps people step back and clarify what truly deserves attention before acting. Moving through five stages — Frame, Observe, Choose, Understand, and Set — it guides thinking from situation awareness to a clear direction or commitment. Often used alongside other GLAS tools, Focus helps define direction before using MAPS to decide how to progress or LEAPS to turn decisions into action.

    • The GLAS Focus Process helps people step back and understand what deserves attention before taking action. When situations feel busy, unclear, or complex, Focus creates space to think more clearly.

      Through five stages, Frame, Observe, Choose, Understand, and Set, it guides people from situation awareness toward a defined direction or commitment.

      Focus sits at the heart of many GLAS practices. It can lead into MAPS when deciding how to progress, and into LEAPS when translating decisions into action.

    1. Clarify an important decision before committing to action.

    2. Plan a new project or direction by stepping through the five stages.

    3. Pause during busy periods to re-identify priorities and focus.

    • Frame the Situation – Step back and clearly define what you are facing or considering.

    • Observe and Clarify – Look at the factors, pressures, and perspectives involved.

    • Choose a Direction – Identify what truly deserves your attention or commitment.

    • Set the Path Forward – Confirm the focus and, if needed, move into MAPS or LEAPS to guide action.
