Find the right starting point

How widespread is the problem?

You do not need to know the service name. Start with how many people or parts of the organisation are being affected.

Choose the closest fit

Which description is closest to what you are seeing?

If the pattern is already broader than one person, you can start directly with an organisational option.

Mostly one leader

The same work keeps coming back to one person.

Use the Diagnostic to understand what keeps returning, why it is returning and what should change first.

Several leaders or one team

The pattern may extend beyond one person.

Use the Snapshot when a few perspectives are needed to see where decisions or dependency are concentrating.

3–5 perspectives Documented findings From $1,950 + GST

Across teams or functions

The bottleneck is already visible across the organisation.

Use the Organisational Pressure Review when repeated escalation or dependence on key people is already affecting how work gets done.

One principle

Start no bigger than the problem requires.

Do I have to start with the Diagnostic?

No. The Diagnostic is for one leader and one recurring pattern. If several people or functions are already affected, start directly with the Snapshot or Review.

What if I choose the wrong level?

That is fine. The scope can be redirected before work begins. The aim is simply to start at the smallest level that can answer the question properly.

Still unsure?

You do not need to diagnose the organisation or select a service before making contact.
