Full executive ownership of your organization's adaptive capability

 

You need this if:

• Diagnostic revealed gaps across multiple capability dimensions

• You need senior executive focus on building adaptability (not just another initiative)

• Leadership team is maxed out and can't own this alongside current roles

• You want comprehensive adaptive infrastructure built over 12-18+ months

• You recognize this capability needs a seat at the table, not project management

 

What this engagement looks like:

I join your leadership team as Chief Adaptability Officer (fractional or interim), taking executive ownership of building your adaptive capability infrastructure across all six dimensions.

 

Responsibilities:

• Executive leadership of adaptive capability development

• Building change governance and portfolio management systems

• Developing internal change champion network and methodology

• Establishing sensing mechanisms and readiness assessment frameworks

• Cultural transformation and leadership development for adaptability

• Integration of adaptive capability into strategic planning and operations

 

Typical engagement: 12-18+ months

Structure: Fractional (2-3 days/week) or Interim (full-time)

Investment: €150,000 - €300,000+ (based on scope and time commitment)

 

Outcome: Your organization operates with significantly greater adaptive capability. Internal teams lead transformations independently. Infrastructure continues strengthening after I transition out.

Focus on 1-2 priority capability dimensions with hands-on support

 

You need this if:

• Diagnostic identified specific critical gaps (e.g., governance + internal capability)

• You want implementation support but not full CAO engagement

• Timeline is 6-9 months rather than 12-18+

• You have some internal capacity but need expert partnership

• Budget constraints require phased approach starting with highest priorities

 

What this engagement looks like:

I work alongside your team to build specific capability dimensions from your roadmap. Most commonly: governance + internal capability building, or leadership development + cultural embedding.

​

Examples:

• Build change governance framework and train your Change Council

• Establish and nurture internal change champion network (10-15 practitioners)

• Develop leadership adaptive capability through coaching and development

• Create sensing mechanisms and portfolio management systems

 

Typical engagement: 6-9 months
Investment: €50,000 - €100,000 (based on scope)

 

Outcome: Specific capability dimensions strengthened, your team equipped to continue building, foundation in place for expanding to other dimensions later.

Expert guidance for high-stakes changes that must succeed

 

You need this if:

• You're facing a complex transformation RIGHT NOW (M&A, ERP, restructure)

• Diagnostic revealed weak execution systems but you need to execute immediately

• Timeline is aggressive and you can't wait to build infrastructure first

• Failure would have serious business consequences

• You want to execute successfully AND build some capability for next time

 

What this engagement looks like:

I provide hands-on strategic partnership to execute your critical transformation while transferring capability to your team. Using proven methodology, I guide you through strategy, stakeholder engagement, execution, and sustainment.

 

Typical transformations:

• M&A integration and cultural alignment

• Digital transformation and major technology implementations

• Large-scale organizational restructure

• Strategic repositioning or business model changes

 

Typical engagement: 3-12 months (depending on transformation complexity)
Investment: €15,000 - €150,000+ (based on transformation scope and timeline)

 

Outcome: Transformation executed successfully, business benefits realized, your team equipped to lead similar changes more independently next time.

You execute the roadmap with your own team

 

You choose this if:

• Diagnostic revealed gaps but you have strong internal capability

• Budget constraints mean you need to implement internally

• You have the right people and executive sponsorship

• You prefer to move at your own pace without external partnership

 

What this looks like:

You own all diagnostic deliverables and implement recommendations with your internal team. Many organizations do this successfully, especially if they have PMO capability, change expertise, and strong executive sponsorship.

 

Optional support: I'm available for periodic advisory calls if you encounter specific challenges during implementation. Pricing based on scope and frequency.

 

Investment: Just the diagnostic (€18-28K)

 

Outcome: Depends entirely on your internal execution capability. Some organizations implement very effectively. Others realize 6-9 months later they need more support and re-engage for Tier 1 or 2.
