PROFILE OVERVIEWS
Every individual and organization has a default approach to strategy and execution—almost inevitably, they intentionally or unintentionally lean toward overplanning, underplanning, or generally struggling with converting ambiguity into actionable plans. The PRISMLENS Profiles identify these tendencies, including blind spots and pattern cycles, to fine-tune approaches for stronger results with less friction.
LINEAR THINKING
& INNOVATION BIAS
Navigators are your go-to planners, breaking down big ideas into actionable steps and ensuring steady progress. They excel at creating clarity and structure, which makes them invaluable in bringing long-term visions to life. However, they may struggle in environments that demand constant adaptation or quick pivots.
NON-LINEAR THINKING
& INNOVATION BIAS
Visionaries are idea generators who see bold possibilities others often overlook. Their ability to think creatively and challenge the status quo makes them catalysts for transformation. However, they may lose focus on the details or practicalities needed to bring their ideas to fruition.
LINEAR THINKING
& ACTION BIAS
Executors are the engines of progress, turning plans into reality with efficiency and precision. They thrive on structure and are masters of follow-through, ensuring goals are met. However, they may find it frustrating when plans change suddenly or when collaboration feels slow-moving.
NON-LINEAR THINKING &
ACTION BIAS
Trailblazers are fearless pioneers, thriving in fast-paced environments where bold action is needed. Their ability to adapt quickly and pursue opportunities makes them natural leaders in uncertain situations. However, they can sometimes take risks prematurely or overlook details.
LINEAR THINKING &
EVIDENCE BIAS
Analysts are meticulous problem-solvers who thrive on logic, data, and thorough evaluation. Their reliance on evidence ensures accuracy and confidence in decision-making. However, they may find it challenging to act in uncertain or fast-moving environments where all the relevant context or information isn’t available.
NON-LINEAR THINKING & EVIDENCE BIAS
Investigators are driven by curiosity, diving deep into complex problems to uncover hidden connections and patterns. Their nonlinear thinking allows them to explore ideas in unique and innovative ways. However, they may struggle to prioritize action, focusing too much on exploration.
LINEAR THINKING &
TRADITION BIAS
Guardians are the protectors of stability, ensuring that processes, values, and systems remain reliable and consistent. They excel in creating order and minimizing risks, particularly in uncertain environments. However, their preference for tradition can make them resistant to rapid change or new methods.
NON-LINEAR THINKING & TRADITION BIAS
The Balancer is often caught between maintaining stability and embracing change, instinctively weighing long-term viability against short-term disruption. When faced with ambiguity, they may act quickly to regain control—defaulting to stability rather than advancing progress. However, their ability to evaluate ideas around broader conceptual understanding ensures that when they do move forward, it’s with confidence, purpose, and lasting impact in mind.
