9 Steps to Transformation Certainty

Steps 1-3 Complete | Steps 4-9 in Throughput-90

You've Done the Hard Part. Now Finish It.

If you're reading this, you've already done something most leadership teams never do.

You built a foundation.

Through Start Right 30, you and your team developed clarity on your context (Step 1), aligned on goals (Step 2), and crystallized a strategy (Step 3).

That's more than 90% of transformations ever achieve. Seriously.

But here's what you probably sense:

Three steps isn't the full picture.

You've got a strategy. But you don't know if you can actually execute it. You've got goals. But you haven't validated whether your organisation can reach them. You've got clarity. But not certainty.

The TCM Success Map has 9 steps for a reason. Steps 4-9 are where strategy meets reality:

  • - Platform decisions
  • - Ecosystem dynamics
  • - Execution readiness
  • - Portfolio alignment
  • - Resource requirements
  • - The GO/NO-GO gate

Throughput-90 takes you there.

You've built the foundation. Now build the full picture - before you commit resources you can't take back.

All 9 Steps. One Clear Decision.

Your TCM Success Map has 9 steps. You've completed 3. Here's the complete picture:

Part 1: Strategy Foundation Complete
Step Name What You Built
Step 1 + Tune In Your business context
Step 2 + Set Targets Your transformation goals
Step 3 + Crystallize Strategy Your strategic direction
Part 2: Platform & Ecosystem Throughput-90
Step Name What You'll Build
Step 4 Advantage Engineered Your platform strategy
Step 5 Winners Attracted Your ecosystem approach
Step 6 Optimal Impact Decision Your platform investment decision
Part 3: Execution Readiness Throughput-90
Step Name What You'll Build
Step 7 Boundaries Defined Your portfolio scope
Step 8 Gameplay Crafted Your delivery approach
Step 9 Commander's Intent Your mission clarity

At the end of Step 9, you'll have a GO/NO-GO decision - the definitive moment where you know whether this transformation should proceed.

Not a guess. Not a hope. A decision backed by a complete assessment of context, strategy, platform, ecosystem, and execution readiness.

The Decision That Changes Everything

Here's a truth nobody wants to talk about:

Most transformation decisions are made without adequate information.

Leaders commit hundreds of millions of pounds based on:

  • ! A business case built on assumptions
  • ! A strategy deck that hasn't been stress-tested
  • ! Enthusiasm that fades when reality hits
  • ! Political pressure to "show progress"

The GO/NO-GO gate is different.

If GO:

  • + Confidence to commit resources
  • + A clear picture of what you're signing up for
  • + Stakeholder alignment before execution begins
  • + A reference point for governance

If NO-GO:

  • + Permission to stop before wasting resources
  • + Clarity on what needs to change
  • + Political cover for saying "not yet"
  • + The foundation to try again when conditions change

Some Throughput-90 cohorts end with a NO-GO decision. That's not failure - that's the system working.

Better to know at 90 days than at 9 months.

The GO/NO-GO gate is the most valuable moment in any transformation. It's where certainty replaces hope - and where careers are protected.

Is Throughput-90 Right For You?

Start Right 30 completion is required.

Throughput-90 builds on the foundation you developed in Start Right 30. Without Steps 1-3 complete, you'll struggle with Steps 4-9.

Haven't done Start Right 30? Start there.

Throughput-90 is built for:

  • + Start Right 30 graduates ready to complete the picture
  • + Leadership teams approaching a major transformation decision
  • + Executives who need GO/NO-GO clarity before committing resources
  • + Organisations that want to decide with confidence, not hope
  • + Leaders who value independent assessment over internal politics

Throughput-90 is probably not for you if:

  • - You haven't completed Steps 1-3 (do Start Right 30 first)
  • - You're already in active execution (consider OpsMax-360)
  • - You want someone else to make the decision for you
  • - Your team isn't ready to commit 4-5 hours per week for 90 days

Complete Your TCM Success Map - Guaranteed

Our promise:

If you complete the programme - attend the sessions, do the work, engage with coaching - and you don't have a complete TCM Success Map with a clear GO/NO-GO decision...

We'll extend your support until you do.

This isn't a refund guarantee. It's a completion guarantee. We're committed to getting you to the decision, not just getting you through a curriculum.

This guarantee requires:

  • + Attendance at live sessions (or recording catch-up within 48 hours)
  • + Completion of weekly TCM Success Map work
  • + Participation in 1:1 coaching sessions
  • + Good faith engagement

If you do all that and still don't have clarity? We keep working with you until you do.

Questions You Might Have

Yes. Throughput-90 builds directly on Steps 1-3. Without that foundation, Steps 4-9 won't make sense. If you haven't done Start Right 30, start there.

Plan for 4-5 hours per week:

  • 90 mins: Live session
  • 2-3 hours: TCM Success Map work in Athena
  • Coaching sessions: 1 hour monthly (3 total)

That's why we include Start Right 30 for a new team member. Use it to onboard anyone who's joined since you completed Steps 1-3.

That's a valid outcome. A NO-GO protects resources, clarifies what needs to change, and gives political cover. Many organisations use NO-GO as a pause - returning to GO when conditions change.

You'll have a complete TCM Success Map and a GO/NO-GO decision. From there:

  • If GO: Consider OpsMax-360 for execution support
  • If NO-GO: Use your foundation to address gaps and reassess
  • Either way: Keep Athena Pro for ongoing strategic thinking

Yes. Each participant needs their own enrollment for full programme access (live sessions, coaching, materials). Contact us for team pricing.
