A structured engagement that measures the Leadership Architecture Index (LAI) across five structural dimensions (Decision Clarity, Role Ownership & Accountability, Escalation Discipline, Leadership Load Balance, Execution Alignment), with Decision Authority Dependency tracked separately as a moderator. Survey, executive interviews, and a scored Architecture Report. ~3–4 weeks.
Structured instrument completed by the CEO and the full executive team. Establishes the structural baseline.
Semi-structured 1:1s with each executive. Surfaces what the survey can't: the lived experience.
LAI across the 5 dimensions; Decision Authority Dependency scored as moderator.
Dimension-by-dimension findings, archetype, recommended structural interventions.
Reference: full definitions on the methodology page.
How unambiguous decision rights are.
Whether each decision class has a clear owner.
Whether escalation paths are defined and used appropriately.
How decision load is distributed across the executive layer.
How clearly strategy translates to team-level execution.
How dependent the system is on a single decision-maker. Tracked separately. Not part of the LAI mean.
Discovery call. Scope confirmation. Roster of executives.
Survey distribution + completion.
1 hour per executive.
Scoring + Architecture Report drafting.
Findings presentation + recommendations workshop.
LA OS is delivered by Azimut as the founding certified implementation partner. Pricing is scoped during the discovery call, anchored on executive team size and complexity. Confidentiality covered by NDA + standard MSA / DPA.
Roughly 1–2 hours per executive: a short survey plus a structured interview. The 90-minute findings/recommendations workshop at the end is typically with the CEO; extending it to the full executive team is a per-engagement choice. Front-loaded so most of the time is in the first two weeks.
A 360 measures behavior (how each leader is perceived). The LA OS measures structure (how the leadership system itself is built: clarity of authority, escalation paths, governance, load balance). Different instruments, different units of analysis.
The LAI score, dimension-by-dimension findings across all five dimensions, the DAD moderator reading, your archetype, the structural failure modes we identified, and recommended interventions (typically a Sprint, sometimes Governance Maintenance only).
Yes. Individual responses are never shared with the executive team. Reports show team-level results only. Aggregated and irreversibly anonymized scores may also be used to develop and evaluate the methodology and to publish research findings, in a form from which no individual and no organization can be identified. Client organizations can decline this in the engagement agreement.
Currently Azimut as the founding certified implementation partner. The methodology, scoring logic, and benchmark data are owned by Team Azimut SRL.
The Leadership Architecture Whitepaper covers the full methodology, the LAI dimensions and scoring logic, the research base, and case studies.
