The Adaptive Strategies Compass™

Your Guide to Navigating Any Conversation with Strategy and Purpose

Every Interviewer Has Been Lost

You've been in a high-stakes conversation where the subject goes off-script, rapport fades, or you're simply unsure of the right next question to ask. In those moments, a script is useless. What you need is a reliable guide. That’s why we created the Adaptive Strategies Compass™, a framework designed to give you clarity and direction when you need it most.

The Eight Strategies of the Compass

Route Map

Plan potential question pathways in advance. By thinking through "if-then" scenarios, you ensure that you are prepared to steer the conversation in a productive direction, regardless of the subject's response.

Motive Mapping

Uncover the "why" behind a subject's answers. By recognizing underlying drivers like fear, loyalty, or guilt, you can tailor your approach to reduce resistance and encourage meaningful disclosure.

Teach to Talk™

Model the level of detail you expect. This strategy enables subjects to provide fine-grained details by showing them what a descriptive, thorough response sounds like, enhancing the accuracy of the information collected.

ACCESS Model

Structure your preparation without scripting your interview. This model helps you organize goals and anticipate challenges, ensuring you enter the conversation with direction but not rigidity.

Personality Assessment

Quickly identify personality types to adjust your communication style accordingly. By recognizing who is across from you, you can frame questions in ways that resonate and build rapport more effectively.

Cognitive Interview

Enhance memory recall by encouraging subjects to mentally revisit an event's context. This research-backed method produces richer and more reliable information than direct questioning alone.

Alignment Method

Address inconsistencies without confrontation. This strategy uses skillful questioning to bring a subject's story back into alignment with known facts, avoiding defensiveness while still pushing for the truth.

Strategic Use of Evidence

Time the introduction of facts with precision. This technique teaches you when to present evidence to highlight contradictions or reinforce credibility without shutting down the conversation prematurely.
