Approach

How I Operate

A Structured 90-Day Framework

When I enter a new environment, I do not rush to change everything.

I focus first on clarity.

Structure without understanding creates more chaos.

My approach follows three phases: understand, align, execute.

01

Phase 1 · Days 0–30

Understand

The first 30 days are about assessment and listening.

I focus on:

  • Current architecture and infrastructure
  • Technical debt and operational risk
  • Delivery bottlenecks
  • Documentation gaps
  • Team friction points

At the leadership level, I clarify:

  • Revenue targets
  • Product or service roadmap
  • 6–12 month priorities
  • Where technology is enabling or blocking growth

The goal is simple: establish an accurate picture of reality before making changes.

02

Phase 2 · Days 30–60

Align

Days 30 to 60 focus on alignment and momentum.

I work with the team to:

  • Identify practical quick wins
  • Clarify technical priorities
  • Align engineering work with business outcomes
  • Evaluate automation, AI, or analytics opportunities
  • Surface roadmap trade-offs

This is collaborative, not imposed. Clarity builds confidence. Alignment builds velocity.

03

Phase 3 · Days 60–90

Execute

Days 60 to 90 focus on structure and rhythm.

I establish:

  • A prioritised and visible roadmap
  • Clear ownership across initiatives
  • Delivery cadence and communication standards
  • Practical governance without bureaucracy

By day 90, leadership has:

  • A clear view of technical health
  • A roadmap aligned to business goals
  • Reduced reactive firefighting
  • A team operating with structure

What This Means

In unstable environments, teams operate in survival mode. Priorities shift. Conversations become political. Execution slows.

My role is to introduce stability without disruption. Create order without slowing progress. Establish guardrails without limiting innovation. Bring clarity to complexity.
