See the situation clearly before deciding.
An executive diagnostic turns a broad question into prioritised decisions, based on available information and clearly identified assumptions.
When this engagement is useful
When priorities conflict, growth slows, responsibilities are unclear, or a decision commits significant resources.
Potential workstreams
Stakeholder interviews; review of available data; analysis of the business model and processes; risk mapping; comparison of options.
Potential deliverables
Diagnostic note; summary of findings and data limitations; ranked priorities; options and trade-offs; initial roadmap with owners and deadlines.
How it works
Define the decision and scope → targeted information gathering → analysis → decision workshop → findings and next steps.
What must be agreed
Data access, people to consult, scope, timeline, confidentiality, acceptance criteria, and client responsibilities. Duration and fees are defined after qualification.
