Challenges we address

Recurrent dysfunctions that impair organizational culture & team performance:

Friction &
Disunity

  • Silos and alliances
  • Apathy or drama
  • BoD/investor tension

Most coaching is bullshit, while our bespoke remedies disable cultures of “cordial hypocrisy”.

Challenging Transitions

  • Pre-sale & post-merger
  • High staff churn
  • Founder/CEO exits

Most transformation efforts fail, yet our provocative methodologies neutralize the paralysis of transition.

Ineffective
OKRs

  • Under/over-achieving KPIs
  • No top-down OKRs
  • Inept performance dialogues

Most KPIs are pointless, but our operational expertise generates well-integrated systems.

"The hero in your professional journey is not someone else; it's the person you see in the mirror every morning, ready to face challenges and seize opportunities."

Simon Sinek

"Problems can't be solved by the same kind of thinking that was used to create them."

Albert Einstein

Our Approach

Resilience does not emerge without intention. “Playing it safe” is usually the riskiest choice.

Top performance is rooted in

Candor

Culture is the best predictor of an organization’s performance. Candor is the key driver in creating high-performance cultures.

Resilience is always preceded by

Clarity

Unlocking the inherent value of an enterprise requires strategic clarity coupled with consistency of action. Alignment of resources & priorities is foundational.
Aspirations & reality align via

Commitment

Effective OKRs and performance dialogues are operational imperatives. Commitment translates aspiration into reality.
"We had a very skeptical group going in, but you were able to turn them into “believers” of the process - to everyone's benefit."
