Next steps
A practical roadmap with both quick wins and longer-term structural recommendations to improve execution.
GOALS & OKRs
OPERATING MODEL
ORG & LEADERSHIP
What are the most important priorities in the context of your strategy?
OKRs & Org in place, but OM is ad hoc or non existent:
Death by meetings trying to align on everything with everyone
OKRs & OM in place but there are leadership gaps and / or confused reporting lines:
Unclear who is actually in charge and / or capable to deliver
CEO
How do you run & operate to maximize your time for high-output management?
Who are your trusted leaders that can execute your priorities well?
Org & OM in place, but OKRs are missing or managed badly:
Everybody is busy yet you aren't executing well on your strategy
The CEO OS™ is at the core of the assessment.
Execution most often breaks across the 3 pillars. The diagnostic examines these, along with the LT dynamics that shape how they function in practice.
Goals & OKRs
With well-defined OKRs (if you prefer this format over SMART goals, Rocks & Pebbles, etc.) you can:
-
Align your leadership team around what moves the needle for the company, not just their own team.
-
Create public accountability to drive results. No more hiding.
-
Have the necessary hard conversations about trade-offs to be able to get commitments.
When it's broken:
-
Everybody is busy, yet nothing important moves.
-
Overwhelm, burnout, and chaos.
-
No ownership culture.
Org & Leadership
Who you surround yourself with does matter. Having the right team to support you in scaling your company will:
-
Fast-track your growth as you bring in experienced leaders.
-
Allow you to spend your time doing what you are the best at.
-
Give the right swimlanes for your leaders so they can get on with their job.
When it's broken:
-
Expensive LT, yet the CEO is still doing everyone's job.
-
Unclear swimlanes create politics.
-
No accountability culture.
Operating Model (OM)
With the right OM in place, you can run your company efficiently and effectively. It can:
-
Help you focus on the right topics / decisions at the right time with the right people.
-
Make micromanagement totally unnecessary.
-
Help avoid death by endless alignment and sync meetings.
When it's broken:
-
More meetings. More people. Less clarity.
-
The CEO becomes the escalation path for everything.
-
Slow and unclear decision-making.
What happens after the diagnostic?
Option 1 - Implement internally
You and your LT start implementing the proposed changes & next steps as you see fit.
Option 2 - Advisory engagement
We start working together so that I can guide the implementation of the proposed changes.
Option 3 - LT offsite (in person or virtual)
We scope out an offsite for a high-impact "intervention".
