Growth Alignment Audit

A 7–10 day diagnostic to identify leaks in strategy, roles, and cadence with an outcome of a 12-week action plan

What does the Audit Cover

A rapid, effective, 7–10 day diagnostic for leadership teams. We examine how strategy translates into work – decisions, ownership, and cadence.

We then present you you a clear, evidence-based plan to unlock growth in the next quarter, with clear points on:

  • Surface Leaks in clarity, ownership, handoffs, and review rhythm

  • Assess Frameworks in use (OGSM, OKRs/IKRs) for fit and quality – no tool agenda

  • Map Proof Lines so reviews run on evidence, not opinions

  • Spot Quick Wins (2–4 weeks) and critical risks to address early

  • Deliver a 12-week action plan with owners, cadence, and success measures

Who should run this?

  • Founders/CEOs, COOs, BU heads facing stalled growth or uneven execution

  • Teams with OKR/OGSM theatre (slides look good; weekly work doesn’t)

  • New leaders who need a decision architecture & operating cadence fast

  • Organizations preparing a turnaround or scale push in the next 1–2 quarters

Deliverables

What you will get

  • Executive Readout: findings, risks, and recommendations

  • Alignment Heatmap across six vectors: Clarity • Ownership • Cadence • Evidence • Interfaces • Enablement

  • 12-Week Action Plan: priorities, proof lines, review cadence, owners

  • Quick-Wins List (2–4 weeks): immediate steps that move the needle

  • Success Measures for the quarter 

How the Audit Works

The way we run it and the outcomes

Day 0–1: Kickoff. Scope, goals, and data request.
Day 1–5: Evidence. 6–12 interviews; review of plans, OKRs/IKRs, OGSM, check-in notes
Day 6–8: Synthesis. Heatmap + recommendations; draft 12-week plan.
Day 9–10: Workshop (90 min). Findings, decisions, next steps.

Client effort: ~6–8 hours total across the week

We do the rest of the heavy-lifting.  You rest.  And assuredly!

Assessment Elements

What areas will we be looking at

  • Decision Architecture: how choices are framed, compared, and committed

  • OKR/IKR Quality: signals, measurability, and reviewer rubrics

  • Operating Cadence: frequency, depth, and usefulness of check-ins

  • Interfaces: handoffs, SLAs, and cross-team friction

  • Enablement: manager capability, playbooks, and coaching needs

FAQs

1) What is the Growth Alignment Audit?
A fast 7–10 day diagnostic for leadership teams. We examine how strategy turns into weekly work—decisions, ownership, and cadence—and return a 12-week action plan.

2) Who should run this audit?
Founders/CEOs, COOs, BU heads, and transformation leaders facing stalling growth, fuzzy ownership, meeting-heavy weeks, or “OKR/OGSM theatre.”

3) Will this disrupt our work?
No. We keep it light: short interviews, a review of existing plans and check-ins, and (if useful) shadowing one or two standing reviews.

4) Do we need OKRs or OGSM in place already?
No. We’re tool-agnostic. If you use OKRs/IKRs or OGSM, we assess fit and quality. If not, we map a simple structure you can run with.

5) What do we get at the end?
An executive readout, an alignment view across clarity/ownership/cadence, and a 12-week action plan with owners, measures, and review rhythm—plus 2–4 quick wins.

6) How soon will we see movement?
Usually within 2–3 weeks as the first check-ins and ownership changes take hold; durable traction typically lands by weeks 6–8 of the plan.

7) What are the next steps?

Start with a short call to confirm fit and timing. If we’re aligned, we’ll schedule the 7–10 day audit window, share a brief data/interview list, and set the readout date. That’s it—simple, fast, and focused.
