Understand and simplify

Fast, objective clarity on the “knots” slowing execution—across strategy, roles, decisions, workflows and behaviours—so leaders can choose the next right moves with confidence.

Who it’s for
Founders, CEOs, or PE/corp-dev leaders facing integration, scale, or stalled change across >20 people (single business unit or two merging teams).

What you get (Deliverables)

  • One-Page Cohesion Map (the system, at a glance): roles, decision rights, meeting cadence, cross-team handoffs, behavioural norms.

  • Knots Heatmap: high-leverage constraints ranked by impact/effort.

  • Proposed 90-Day Action Card

How we do it (2 weeks)

  • Diagnose: 8–14 stakeholder interviews; short pulse survey; artifact review (org charts, meeting rhythms, KPIs); observe 2–3 live meetings.

  • Design: synthesize signals; draft maps and options; align with sponsor.

Outcomes

  • Shared view of what’s really happening.

  • A simple, agreed 90-day plan to recover momentum.

Client effort
Leader kick-off (45 mins); intros to interviewees; attend readout (90 mins).
