Before almost every costly measure comes a decision.
Skip it, and the measure still gets paid for.
I find the decision before the measure.
Most businesses notice it through a measure that doesn’t carry: a website that brings no enquiries, an account that burns budget, a role that is open again after a year. The measure gets repaired. The decision before it stays open, and the next measure fails at the same point.
Six situations. One question each.
Direction.
What takes priority now, and what gets stopped for it?
Many good projects run at once. None gets finished, all of them cost time.

Offer.
What do we sell, to whom, and what not any more?
Many services, few orders. Every offer wants marketing, sales and upkeep.

Marketing.
Which demand should arise, for which offer?
The budget rises. The enquiries don’t fit the business that is meant to grow.

Website.
What has to be decided before anything gets built?
A relaunch is coming, and the talk is about agency and design. What brings in enquiries today gets rebuilt too.

Responsibility.
Who decides what, and who no longer?
Everything lands with management, or two people feel responsible. Decisions wait, and people wait with them.

Systems & AI.
What should run without someone having to decide anew every time?
The same alignment meeting every week. A new tool is meant to fix it and costs money every month.

Which work fits.
The decision is known. It’s stuck.
The loss is known. The decision behind it isn’t yet.
Not sure yet which one it is?
The fit call. We find out whether and where I start.
