For the organisation
Stitch In Time
Five organisational breakdowns and the five early warning frameworks that prevent them.
Who it is for
I wrote it for team leaders, project managers, directors, founders, chief executives, finance and operations heads, and every senior leader responsible for the long-term health of the institution they lead. Above all, I wrote it for the leader who senses fractures forming inside an organisation that still reports everything as green, and who needs a governance framework precise enough to find them and repair them in time.
The five governance domains
- Core Load. Knowing how much your organisation is really bearing against the resources, people and reserves it has, so that performance today is never financed by a hidden overdraft on tomorrow.
- Talent Flow. Moving the right people into the right roles at the right time, so that the organisation builds leaders faster than it loses them.
- Everyday Work. The systems and routines through which strategy succeeds or fails, keeping the daily activity of your teams connected to the outcomes the organisation exists to produce.
- Signals and Risk. Early warning systems and a culture of honest reporting, so that the information reaching the board is the same signal that was raised at the source.
- Power and Mandate. Clarity on who decides what, with what authority and within what limits, so that critical decisions are taken by the people who own them and kept clear of turf wars.
