Co.next Workshop 1–3–5: A Simple Framework for Clearer Thinking
1–3–5: A Simple Framework for Clearer Thinking
With James Groves, Co.next Chair & Director at Indigo Swan
Feeling stretched, juggling priorities or overthinking decisions at work?
Join Co.next Chair James Groves for a practical workshop introducing the 1–3–5 framework — a simple thinking tool designed to bring clarity, focus and forward momentum to your role.
The 1-3-5 is the following: The one page business plan and personal growth plan.
⭐️ You can use a 1-3-5 for your business but also your personal goals.
⭐️ The 1 is the vision for either your business or yourself over the next 12/24 months.
⭐️ The 3 is 3 key objectives. For example Work KPIs, Professional Development and Personal
⭐️ The 5 is 5 goals linked to each, so 15 goals in total to be achieved over the 12/24 months, so that you achieve your vision and your key objectives.
Why coaches use it
- Builds a business plan without the need for page after page of planning and strategy being written.
- Reduces overthinking
- Encourages accountability
- Strengthens decision-making confidence and delivery of key goals.
- Works brilliantly for neurodivergent thinkers (especially ADHD) because it provides structure without being rigid
- Provides clarity on your professional and personal goals.
- All goals should be SMART
