Decision Pack™ Interim Leadership

Before this step

Questions leaders ask first.

Why not start with the retainer?

Because cadence without a known break only speeds up activity. The retainer follows the diagnosis, once the break and its owner are named.

What changes week to week?

Decisions stop waiting for the next steering meeting. A senior decision rhythm, clear escalation paths and implementation support carry them.

Can we see the economic stake first?

Yes. The Business Case Builder shows the value at stake as bands, including the cost of each week without a decision.
