Bearings Check
A focused diagnostic for situations where leaders and delivery teams disagree about what is wrong, previous fixes have not held or activity is masking a more fundamental business problem.
Typical duration
2 to 4 weeks · £12,000 to £16,000
Best used when
The evidence and stakeholder views point in different directions.
Primary outputs
Stakeholder insight summary · evidence-based diagnostic · root-cause map · business consequence view · prioritised intervention list · leadership decision record
Expected outcome
Leadership agreement on the real cause and the first priorities for intervention.
Where the diagnostic needs to become a durable organisational change view, findings can be structured in Felmor Compass.
This may include affected capabilities, linked initiatives, ownership gaps, dependencies and prioritised interventions. The platform is introduced only where it helps the organisation maintain and act on the diagnostic after the engagement.
When to use this
Questions: Is the problem strategic, structural, commercial, technological or delivery-related? Why have earlier interventions failed? Where is leadership attention misapplied? What should stop, start or change first?
What it addresses
Sponsor framing; evidence review; eight to twelve confidential conversations; comparison of stated and actual practice; root-cause analysis; leadership working session; intervention prioritisation.
