Script

At Bain’s London office in 2004, the team faced thirteen options for a client deal-one week, and the deadline was down to the last hour. Instead of a slide deck, they built a single paper grid: options listed on one side, decision criteria across the top. Each square forced a yes, no, or numeric score. Arguments stopped: just fill every cell, then total the numbers and circle the winner. Bain’s decision was made in 18 minutes-the one-sheet matrix saved them four back-and-forth meetings, and exactly one hour on the clock.
