Who is it for
When a Diagnosis Makes Sense
This is the right starting point if you feel your company has potential but you don't know where you're losing energy, margin, or decision-making speed.
- Your company has clients and a team, but growth requires ever-increasing effort.
- The board has several hypotheses but lacks a single, agreed-upon diagnosis.
- Sales, marketing, operations, and HR are active, but not always pulling in the same direction.
- You need an external perspective before a major decision, recruitment, or a change in your business model.
- You want to know if further consulting collaboration makes sense before committing to a long-term contract.
Scope
What I Examine
I look at the company through its numbers, decisions, people, and operational rhythm—not just its declarations.
Team and Accountability
Who really makes decisions, where issues resurface, and which roles are overloaded or poorly defined.
Priorities
What truly moves the company forward versus what only creates a sense of being busy.
Client Perspective
If possible, I talk to your clients to see your offering from their side, not just the company's perspective.
Offering and Positioning
I check if your offer is clear, addresses real client needs, and clearly differentiates you from the competition.
Sales and Website
I analyze your sales process and website for communication consistency, conversion rates, and areas where sales opportunities are lost.

What the Board Receives
- Identification of the primary growth bottleneck, supported by data.
- A prioritized list of observations, suggestions, and ideas based on their potential impact.
- One clear priority for the quarter and a list of things to consciously stop doing.
- A set of 5-7 key metrics for the board's weekly review.
- A recommendation on what's next: decisions, offering, team, resources, market—or the conclusion that no further collaboration is needed.
Why I Start with a Diagnosis
Without a diagnosis, it's easy to buy a solution that is correct but doesn't address the main problem.
The short format limits the client's risk and quickly shows whether further collaboration will add value.
After two weeks, you have a valuable asset that remains with the company, regardless of the decision to continue.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Diagnosis mandatory before any collaboration?
Usually, yes, because it prevents us from working on the wrong assumptions. If the scope is very clear, we can agree on a shorter starting option during our first call.
Do we have to share financial data?
I need data that allows for a growth diagnosis: revenue, margins, costs, funnel, team structure. We agree on the scope before we start.
Do we have to continue working together after the Diagnosis?
No. The Diagnosis is a complete, standalone service. Sometimes the recommendation is: you have a clear direction and can implement it on your own.
How much of the board's time does the Diagnosis require?
About 4 hours in total: a kick-off session, a closing session, and brief information exchange in between.
