Structural constraints mapped and corrected.
Study 01
Decision Authority Diffusion in a Growing Services Firm
Context
Founder-led services company experiencing stalled initiatives and reopened decisions.
Primary Constraint
Decision rights undefined across cross-functional initiatives. Escalation thresholds inconsistent.
Intervention
- Decision rights map
- Escalation threshold definition
- Weekly decision forum installation
Outcome
Decision cycle time reduced. Reopened decisions decreased. Execution predictability stabilized within one quarter.
Study 02
Initiative Congestion in a Multi-Project Engineering Environment
Context
Engineering consultancy managing concurrent client implementations.
Primary Constraint
Initiative volume exceeded throughput capacity. Intake fragmented across channels.
Intervention
- Initiative stack ranking
- Work-in-progress limits
- Single intake path
- Cadence reset
Outcome
Project completion predictability improved. Context switching reduced. Delivery consistency stabilized.
Study 03
Founder Dependency in a Growth-Stage Operator Team
Context
Operator-led team where strategic and operational decisions bottlenecked at founder level.
Primary Constraint
Escalation defaulted upward. Authority bands undefined.
Intervention
- Authority band model
- Escalation decision tree
- Accountability structure redesign
Outcome
Founder involvement reduced in operational decisions. Execution velocity increased without headcount expansion.
