Direct Answer
What is Domino Map™?
Domino Map™ is Ravinder Tulsiani's sequencing framework for capability systems. It identifies the first performance constraint to move, what it unlocks, who owns it, and what evidence proves progress.
Domino Map™
Sequence capability work so the right constraint moves first.
Domino Map™ is the center of the Capability Operating System: it helps leaders see which capability condition unlocks the next performance result.
Performance Constraint
Clarify what is blocking execution, adoption, readiness, or measurable progress.
Unlock Sequence
Map which capability move enables the next decision, behavior, or system condition.
Ownership Rhythm
Define who reinforces, governs, and reviews movement across the sequence.
Evidence Signal
Determine what visible proof shows the sequence is working.
Decision Model
Clarify the executive decision, the performance condition, the operating owner, and the evidence required before the work proceeds.
Implementation Pathway
Move from diagnostic to blueprint, from blueprint to operating cadence, and from cadence to measurable proof.
Case Example
Used in corporate university, AI readiness, healthcare learning, and learning impact contexts where activity must become governed performance.
Related Books and Tools
Connect the framework to The Capability Library, readiness assessments, decision tools, and an executive briefing pathway.
Executive FAQ
Questions leaders ask before moving capability work forward.
When should leaders use Domino Map™?
Use it when a capability problem feels broad, political, or overloaded and leaders need to know what should move first.
How does Domino Map™ reduce execution risk?
It prevents teams from building disconnected programs by making the first constraint, sequence, ownership, and proof explicit.
How Leaders Use This
Find the first domino before building the program.
Use Domino Map™ to sequence capability work around the business result that matters.
Operating Questions
- What decision does leadership need to make?
- Which capability must change in the work?
- What proof will make progress credible?
- Who must reinforce the new operating rhythm?
