for example, then there is only 3 left over for Service. This
kind of measurement therefore quickly has limitations
because there is no way to measure how integrated values
can compound each other.
Part of THT’s methodology is to “crack” the line into a
two-sided axis, in order to provide a new space in which to
envision situations and solutions (Figure 13.2).

Figure 13.2 Simple two-axes approach

In the above mentioned “linear approach” a score can
never come above the diagonal line—between (0,10) and
(10,0). The sum of all positions always come out as 10 (7 and
3, 4 and 6, etc.).
The advantage of a representation with two axes is that
there is room for a score higher than 10: a creative merging
of both positions is possible outside triangle A. (See Fig-
ure 13.3.) If you reach a score over the diagonal line (i.e.,
in triangle B), then we can speak of some integration or
reconciliation.
