Why teams underperform
These warning signs often point to one root cause: Your CTO Archetype doesn't match your business stage. In this assessment, we evaluate that specific mismatch and identify what needs to change.
- Missed deadlines and constant delays — slippage points to deeper operational issues.
- Budget overruns — unexplained costs signal weak financial control.
- High turnover — talent churn reflects dissatisfaction and poor environment.
- Lack of innovation — work stuck in repeat cycles, nothing new shipped.
- Poor communication — unclear pathways stall collaboration and decisions.
- Technical debt piling up — maintainability and risk trending the wrong way.
- Reactive problem solving — firefighting replaces planning and prevention.
- Low morale and engagement — output drops, standards slide.
- Can't attract top talent — the best won't join unclear, chaotic teams.
- Misaligned with business goals — effort doesn't move company objectives.

FAQ
Is this a sales call?
No. It's a working session. You'll get a clear picture of your CTO Archetype, business stage alignment, and whether you have the 3 business objectives clear enough to proceed to transformation.
Who should attend?
CEO or CTO. If both attend, we get alignment faster and leave with an agreed next step.
What if I don't have 3 clear business objectives?
Honest answer: You're not ready for the diagnostic yet. But that's OK. We can help you identify and clarify your 3 business objectives first. That's often the real starting point.
What happens next and what does it cost?
If your 3 business objectives are clear and you're positioned for transformation, the next step is a two-week diagnostic for $7K AUD. We analyse your CTO Archetype, your business stage alignment, and what needs to change. This insight sets up the final decision. The 6-month transformation that follows costs $10K per month (or $53K if prepaid). It's hands-on work because capacity is real.
What does success look like?
Either a high performing team led with confidence aligned to your business stage, or absolute clarity that a leadership change is needed, with the team set up for the next leader.
Capacity is Limited. We take on a small number of leaders because that is how we deliver results that matter. If you are ready to explore your CTO Archetype and business stage alignment, book your assessment soon.
