Making decisions under complexity and uncertainty requires sustained effort. The framework is composed of the methods of Move to the Edge and processes of Declare It Center. This combination enables others to participate, iterate scale, and sustain throughout the team or organization.

The methods of Move to the Edge and the processes of Declare It Center are both composed of a series of practices, Exterior and Interior. The Exterior Practices are visible, consisting of documents, playbooks, and processes. The Interior Practices are emotional, consisting of habits, inner work, and behaviors. Both are crucial. Exterior Practices alone can create the illusion of omniscience, ill‐prepared for the impact of human feelings. Interior Practices alone don't enable others to follow, share, and improve one's own work. Both are needed for organizations to move through complex, uncertain situations, and to then center on systems to sustain, scale, and share the work.
