The Friction Index

See the friction. Start the flow.

A five-day delivery diagnostic that cuts through the noise and shows you what’s really slowing things down.

Delivery slowing down? Let’s find out why.

As teams grow, delivery starts to drag. Quick fixes pile up. Feedback loops break. What used to work… doesn’t.

The Friction Index is a five-day diagnostic designed to surface the friction points hiding in your systems, teams, and leadership — so you can act with clarity.

This isn’t theory. It’s signal that drives action.

What You Get

• A structured snapshot of delivery maturity across teams, systems, and leadership
• Prioritised quick wins and strategic enablers
• Sharp, specific recommendations grounded in real delivery work
• A credible baseline for improvement — without the overhead of a big consultancy

This is fast, focused, and built for traction — not templates.

Why It Works

Speed and substance — powered by AI, led by experience

AI accelerates the review — surfacing themes, parsing transcripts, tagging patterns. That’s how we go deep in five days.

But the final calls? Always shaped by lived experience and technical judgment.

Human-led. High-trust. Built on delivery credibility

This isn’t a survey and a slide deck. I spend time with your teams. I see the systems in action. I ask hard questions and listen carefully.

The result is a shared language and a practical path forward.

Actionable, not abstract

Every recommendation is designed to reduce risk, improve flow, and help your teams deliver — under pressure.

Because momentum beats methodology. And trust beats templates.

What Comes Next?

The Friction Index stands alone — but it often leads to deeper support. If the findings resonate, we move forward together:

• Hands-on Leadership — embedded support to drive change
• Technical Coaching — helping teams take ownership
• Advisory — light-touch support to keep momentum going

Each phase is optional. No lock-in. No bloat. The goal is simple: capability that sticks — and fast flow that lasts.
