Fieldwork Studio — Arcturus

Phase 1 — Fieldwork Cycle

Client Intake

Start with the opening question. Use it in discovery calls, written pre-work, or as an email prompt before the program. The answers feed directly into the PRISM Profile.

Opening question

Ask this first — verbally or in writing

What are you working on, or what do you need help with?

Let them answer freely. Capture as much as they give you — exact words when possible.

Client / Organization

Purpose

Direction, priorities, and shared goals

What is this team trying to accomplish this year?

Are there clear shared priorities, or are different people focused on different things?

What decisions have been hard to make, or keep getting revisited?

If this program succeeds, what will be true 90 days from now that isn't true today?

Relationships

Trust, communication, and conflict

How would you describe the trust level on this team?

Are there relationships that are particularly strong? Particularly strained?

How does the team handle disagreement or conflict?

What do people avoid saying out loud?

Individual Strengths

Talent, visibility, and contribution

Who are the key people? What does each person bring?

Whose contributions tend to get the most visibility? Whose get overlooked?

Are people in roles that play to their strengths?

Who would you most want to see step up during this program?

Systems

Decisions, processes, and friction

How are decisions made on this team?

Where do things tend to get stuck or slow down?

What meetings, processes, or handoffs create the most friction?

If you could change one thing about how the team operates, what would it be?

Momentum

Follow-through, change history, and readiness

Has this team tried to change before? What happened?

What would success look like 90 days after this program?

What's most likely to get in the way of real change?

What does this team need to hear that nobody is saying?

Phase 2 — Fieldwork Cycle

Phase 3 — Fieldwork Cycle

Field Map

Real-time and post-field capture. Record what you observe during the experience — behaviors, moments, patterns, quotes. This becomes the evidence base for your debrief and deliverables.

PPurpose observations

RRelationships observations

IIndividual Strengths observations

SSystems observations

MMomentum observations

Key moments & quotes

Exact words, turning points, breakthrough moments

Reflection Boats

Break participants into five groups — one per PRISM dimension. Name each boat, add participants, then copy the boat link to share with that group.

Boat links include the PRISM dimension and boat name as URL parameters.
Participants who open their link will see their boat assignment and have that dimension featured first.

Phase 4 — Fieldwork Cycle

Worksheets

The five PRISM tools. Fill these out post-field, drawing on intake data and your Field Map observations. These feed directly into client deliverables.

Our Two or Three Commitments

Be specific, name an owner, set a date, and describe what success looks like. Two or three changes actually implemented matter more than twenty inspiring takeaways.
