Your history, weighed truthfully
Ten to fifteen major verdicts from the past year are rebuilt from start to finish: trigger, cast, elapsed time, and where those hours went — thought or waiting. The four familiar snares (sign-off queues, document piles, quorum hunts, unowned middles) are marked against your evidence.
It closes with a findings workshop for the senior team: the delay map, the cost reckoning, and four disciplines — owner, deadline, readable papers, covered middle weeks — matched to your diary.
- Duration: four weeks, light touch on executive time.
- Deliverables: latency map, costed findings, workshop.
- Suits: organisations sensing drift but lacking proof.
The four weeks, phase by phase
01 · Reconstruct
Verdict selection with your chief of staff, then archive trawl and brief interviews — timelines rebuilt minus the blame.
02 · Analyse
Delay mapping and snare-scoring: thought parted from waiting, prices pinned on each pattern.
03 · Confront
A findings workshop where the senior team faces its own record — and adopts the four disciplines ahead.
