Engagement Model
Finite. Mandated Accountable
Conditions of engagement
- Clear executive sponsor
- Defined mandate
- Explicit authority boundaries
- Access to leadership
- Organizational willingness to confront structural issues
Without these, engagement does not proceed.
Operating Phases
Stabilize
Assess decision architecture. Clarify authority. Arrest drift.
Clarify
Define accountability, sequencing, constraints, and resolution path.
Execute
Drive decisions. Enforce clarity. Deliver measurable forward movement.
No parallel advisory streams. No shadow governance.
Duration
Engagements are finite.
Typically 2 weeks to 6 months depending on scope and complexity.
The objective is structural resolution, not permanent presence.
