Executive Consensus Gap Diagnostic™
A focused two-week intervention for opportunities where executive commitment has stalled: identify what is blocking the decision and what it takes to move forward.
Why it matters
Executive access is not the same as executive readiness.
- Multiple stakeholdersDifferent priorities, concerns and decision routes across the executive team.
- Unresolved questionsValue, risk, operating impact and investment trade-offs lack a shared position.
- Commercial effort at riskTime and resources are consumed while the investment decision remains unresolved.
When to use it
