Tier 1: Forming
Right now, execution isn't being protected by the way the organisation operates day to day. Strategy may be clear on paper, but it isn't acting as a practical filter for what people do, so teams end up carrying too much at once. Priorities blur, urgent wins, and work expands until delivery depends on heroic individuals rather than a repeatable system. Decision-making tends to be slow or unclear, which creates waiting time, rework, and a culture of escalation—teams pause because they don't know what's safe to decide. You may also see a gap between what leaders say they want and what the system rewards. People get trained, introduced to new processes, or asked to change behaviours, but KPIs, incentives, governance, and tooling still pull them back to the old way of working. Risks and bad news often surface late (or get softened on the way up), so problems are discovered when they're expensive to fix. Change initiatives can feel rolled out as finished packages, so adoption becomes compliance at best, and quiet resistance at worst. The good news: when you're in this tier, a few focused moves can create fast momentum and lift multiple areas at once.
Over the next 90 days, three simple moves can make a real difference:
- Choose one priority to protect this quarter — pause or stop at least one competing initiative and communicate the trade-off clearly.
- Set a decision clock for your top 5 recurring decisions — name an owner and a deadline rule (e.g., 48 hours for clarifications, 7 days for approvals).
- Create a weekly 20-minute surface risks early ritual — reward early flagging, track actions taken within 72 hours.
