Book a call

90 minutes, and a written answer.

Questions rather than a presentation. It ends with a written position on whether an investigation is warranted. If it is not, that is what the report says.

01 / Pick a time

One session with whoever would sponsor the work.

This is step three of four. Frank's 30-minute call is about you and a decision. This 90 minutes is about your business, and it ends with a document.

Bring whoever has the authority to act on what we find. If that person is not in the room, we can describe the problem but we cannot tell you whether it can be fixed.

01Before

Nothing to prepare. Board papers and minutes come later, under the engagement.

02During

A consistent set of questions about what your team sees, what it understands and what it expects next.

03After

A written position: whether this looks like an alignment problem, what an investigation would look at, and what it would cost.

02 / How it can end

Three outcomes. Two of them end the conversation.

01Outcome

This is not our problem to solve

The report says an investigation is not warranted and shows what we looked at to get there. No fee, and we will not follow up.

02Outcome

It belongs to somebody else

The difficulty is real and it is a different discipline. We will tell you which, and what a good version of that hire looks like.

03Outcome

An investigation is warranted

The report sets out what we would examine, which defences fall in scope, how long it takes and what it costs. You decide after reading it.

Work comes through referral and direct approach. We need a sponsor with the authority to act on whatever the investigation finds.

03 / Before you book

Four minutes, if you want a look first.

The diagnostic scores the same five defences from 10 questions and shows you where your gaps are. It is an indication rather than a finding, and it is free.
