Most businesses regularly review their finances.
Very few ever audit how work actually flows through the organization.
-
Teams are busy but progress feels slow
-
Work gets stuck between departments
-
Projects take longer than expected
-
Tools don’t deliver the value promised
-
Leadership senses “something’s off” but can’t pinpoint it
​
This is operational debt, and it compounds quietly over time.
What is an Operational Diagnostic?
An Operational Diagnostic is a structured, time-boxed assessment of how work flows through your organization, identifying friction, waste, risk, and misalignment before they become costly failures.
What Makes Us Different
-
Framework-based (Operational Debt™)
-
Cross-functional (not siloed)
-
Business-first (not tool-first)
-
Evidence-driven (interviews, artifacts, workflows)
-
Actionable (prioritized roadmap, not a report that sits on a shelf)
