The Capability Gap Nobody Mentions

I've been thinking about something that bothers me.

In the last five years, major consultancies have completely transformed how they work. They've deployed dozens—sometimes hundreds—of AI assistants across every phase of their delivery. Documentation, testing, analysis, recommendations. All of it, augmented.

Their productivity is accelerating. Their insights are compounding. And their fees? Still climbing.

Here's what nobody talks about:

You're expected to keep pace with their AI-accelerated outputs using the same manual processes you've always had.

Think about it. They've got AI drafting deliverables, AI validating work products, AI stress-testing recommendations. And you? You're reviewing their outputs the same way you did in 2015. Same spreadsheets. Same workshops. Same "let me take that offline and get back to you."

This isn't a technology problem. It's a capability asymmetry. And it's getting wider every quarter.

Their Side Your Side
50+ AI agents per programme Manual processes
Accelerating productivity Static capacity
Compounding insights Same bandwidth
Building permanent capability Renting theirs
The transformation capability gap isn't closing. It's widening. And it's happening while most executives aren't even aware it exists.

THE ANSWER

Introducing TCM: Transformation Capability Management

The new category of AI platforms that build capability on YOUR side, not theirs.

For 20 years, consultancies have owned the methodology layer of transformation. They built the frameworks. They trained the people. They kept the advantage.

Now they're doing the same thing with AI.

But here's what's different this time: you don't have to let them.

TCM—Transformation Capability Management—flips the model.

  • Your assessments – not theirs
  • Your governance – not theirs
  • Your strategic intelligence – not theirs
  • Your capability that stays – when they leave

BusinessGPS.ai is the first TCM platform. And Athena V3 is your personal entry point.

"Consultancies augment themselves. TCM augments you."

Your AI Co-Pilot for Strategic Thinking

Athena guides you through the 9-step TCM Success Map—the same framework used in enterprise transformation programmes worth hundreds of millions.

Athena isn't another chatbot with a fancy prompt.

It's a transformation-trained AI that thinks like a senior strategy consultant—but works exclusively for you.

📍

Capture Your Reality

  • Document your context, constraints, and objectives in one structured place
  • Surface the assumptions you're making (and the ones you're avoiding)
  • Map the political landscape before you step into it
🧭

Build Your TCM Success Map

  • Work through all 9 steps at your own pace
  • Identify risks, dependencies, and failure modes before they bite
  • Stress-test your thinking against proven transformation patterns
🛡️

Explore Without Exposure

  • Test scenarios and trade-offs privately
  • Develop your narrative before sharing it publicly
  • Ask the questions you can't ask in the boardroom
📊

Prepare for What's Next

  • Generate board-ready talking points
  • Build the case for (or against) major initiatives
  • Know what you think before everyone asks what you think

This isn't ChatGPT with a transformation prompt.

Athena is built on the O2O methodology—45 steps covering the full transformation lifecycle from Opportunity to Operations. It understands:

  • How upstream decisions compound downstream
  • Where transformation programmes typically fail
  • What questions to ask at each phase
  • How to surface hidden risks and shadow drivers

You get a thinking partner that's trained on transformation, not just trained on language.

Is Athena Right For You?

Athena is built for you if:

  • You're a CIO, CFO, COO, CDO, or CEO with transformation on your plate
  • You need to think through scenarios privately before sharing them widely
  • You're not yet ready to commit to a full programme, but serious about reducing risk
  • You're tired of endless slide-ware and want structured thinking support instead
  • You're facing a career-defining decision and want to get it right

Athena probably isn't for you if:

  • You're looking for someone else to do your thinking for you
  • You want generic AI that doesn't understand transformation
  • You're not willing to invest focused time in strategic work

This isn't academic theory. It's the same approach that's been used to:

  • Assess transformation programmes worth $100M+
  • Identify risks that traditional PMO processes missed
  • Provide independent governance for enterprise initiatives
  • Guide executives through career-defining decisions

Mark Waller

Founder, BusinessGPS.ai

Mark built BusinessGPS.ai after seeing the same pattern repeat for 20+ years: consultancies building capability for themselves while clients stayed dependent. With the arrival of AI, he saw the gap accelerating—and built TCM to close it.

"We thought we were aligned."

"We assumed everyone was on the same page about the transformation. Building our individual TCM Success Maps showed us we had three different definitions of success. Better to know that now than six months into delivery."

— COO, Manufacturing

"The risk we'd missed."

"Athena surfaced a dependency we hadn't considered—a critical system retirement that would have derailed our go-live. The consultants missed it. Our PMO missed it. Athena caught it in the first session."

— CIO, Financial Services

"The question I needed to ask."

"I was about to recommend a £30M programme to the board. Athena helped me see the gaps in my thinking before anyone else could. I went back, fixed them, and presented a stronger case."

— CDO, Retail

Want to Align Your Whole Leadership Team?

Here's what typically happens when leadership teams face transformation:

Everyone nods in the meetings. Everyone agrees on the "strategy." But when each leader actually articulates their own view of success, constraints, and risks...

The gaps become visible.

  • Different definitions of "success"
  • Different assumptions about constraints
  • Different risk tolerances
  • Different mental models of what "done" looks like

Better to surface this now than six months into execution.

Questions You Might Have

How is Athena different from the Tripwire vs Personal?

The Tripwire (£67) gives you guided support for TCM Success Map Steps 1-3—enough to start building clarity on your transformation context, goals, and strategy.

Personal (£297) gives you the complete 9-step TCM Success Map framework, plus additional templates and resources. If you're serious about building full strategic clarity, Personal is the recommended path.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your Athena workspace is yours alone. Your strategic thinking, your scenarios, your concerns—they stay private until you choose to share them. We don't see them. Your colleagues don't see them.

How is this different from just using ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is trained on language. Athena is trained on transformation methodology—specifically the O2O framework. It knows what questions to ask, what patterns to look for, and how to structure strategic thinking for transformation decisions. It's the difference between talking to a generalist and working with a specialist.

Will I still need Start Right 30 after using Athena?

They serve different purposes. Athena is a personal thinking tool—it helps you develop clarity on your own. Start Right 30 is a facilitated cohort programme that brings your team into the process with peer accountability and collective alignment. Many leaders use Athena first to prepare their thinking, then bring their organisations into Start Right 30 when ready to commit.

How quickly can I start?

Immediately. Once you purchase, you'll receive access within minutes. Most leaders have their first meaningful TCM Success Map session within an hour.

Is there a subscription or ongoing cost?

No. Athena V3 is a one-time purchase. £67 (Tripwire) or £297 (Personal) gives you lifetime access. No monthly fees. No surprise charges.

Your Consultants Are AI-Augmented.
It's Time You Were Too.

The capability gap is real. And every day you wait, it widens.

Your consultants are getting faster. Their AI is getting smarter. Their advantage is compounding.

Athena V3 is your first step toward closing that gap. Your first piece of client-side transformation capability. Your personal AI co-pilot for the decisions that define your career.

For £297—less than an hour of consultant time—you get:

  • Your personal Athena workspace
  • The complete 9-step TCM Success Map framework
  • Transformation-trained AI that works for you
  • A private strategic thinking environment
  • Lifetime access, no subscription

P.S. — Still thinking about it?

Here's the question that convinced most of our early users:

"If your consultants are using AI to augment their thinking about your transformation... shouldn't you have AI augmenting yours?"

The answer is yes. And Athena is how you start.
