Decision Sovereignty Map
A document that names every recurring decision class, the owner, the threshold for escalation, and the path. The single source of truth for authority.
We redesign the leadership decision system so authority, escalation, and governance become predictable at your current and future scale. Not training. Not coaching. A structural intervention with three concrete outputs.
"You can't train your way out of a structural problem."
When decisions stall, escalations multiply, and cross-functional conflict becomes the norm, the typical response is more leadership development. That treats the symptom. The Sprint redesigns the system that produced the symptom.
LA OS measurement with the executive team. We surface the structural baseline (LAI across DC/ROA/ED/LLB/EA) and the failure modes.
We co-build the Decision Sovereignty Map: who has authority over which decisions, at what threshold, with what escalation.
We design the Governance Architecture and Escalation Protocol. Roles, cadences, decision-rights matrix.
We install the new architecture. Team practice runs, edge-case review, written governance doc.

A document that names every recurring decision class, the owner, the threshold for escalation, and the path. The single source of truth for authority.
The cadence, forums, and decision rules of the executive team. Designed for the next stage of complexity, not the last one.
When and how decisions escalate. Speeds up the legitimate escalations and stops the rest.
"Four weeks is a lot of executive time."
It's not four weeks of full-time work. Realistically: a couple of hours per executive each week — the survey, one workshop, edge-case review, and the install session. Far less than the executive time you're currently spending on decisions that shouldn't reach you.
"We've already tried something like this."
Most leadership-development engagements treat people. The Sprint redesigns the system. The artefacts are the reason behavior changes — and stays changed.
"What if our architecture is fine?"
The CEO Fit Diagnostic answers that. If your Fit Score is positive, you don't need a Sprint — you need Governance Maintenance.
Roughly 12–16 hours per executive across 4 weeks: a survey + 1-hour interview in week 1, two co-build workshops in weeks 2–3, and a half-day install in week 4. Less than the executive time most teams currently spend on decisions that shouldn't reach them.
Probably not. A positive Fit Score means your architecture is currently keeping pace with your demand. What you need then is Governance Maintenance — quarterly or annual reassessment so it stays aligned as you grow.
Both work. Workshops are usually a mix: survey + interviews remote, co-build workshops in person where possible, install can be either. We confirm the format during the discovery call based on your team's geography.
You leave with three written artefacts (Decision Sovereignty Map, Governance Architecture, Escalation Protocol). Most clients then move to Governance Maintenance — quarterly or annual reassessment to keep the architecture aligned with growth.

The CEO Fit Diagnostic is the qualifier. If your Fit Score indicates structural redesign, we'll talk about a Sprint.
