How I work
Four weeks, then a recommendation you can act on
The same shape every time, because the shape is what makes it fast.
Week one, I read everything
Board papers, the last three plans, the numbers, and the things people email each other. Usually the answer is already in there, unsaid.
Week two, I talk to twenty people
Not the leadership team. The people one and two levels below them, who know exactly what is wrong and have stopped saying it.
Questions
Before you write
Tell me the decision you are avoiding
A paragraph is enough. I reply to everything within two working days, including the ones I turn down.
