8–10 weeks

People Architecture Blueprint

Install decision rights, manager rhythm, and governance in 8–10 weeks.

Teams using this blueprint cut decision latency by 20–40% within 90 days.

The People Architecture Blueprint is a time-boxed engagement that designs and installs your People Operating System—decision rights (RACI), manager cadence, and governance. In 8–10 weeks, we target a 20–40% reduction in decision latency, +30–50% manager OS adoption, and ≥60% actions closed ≤30 days.

This Solves (What You Actually Feel Day-to-Day)

1. Organizational friction

Decisions bounce between leaders or sit unresolved for days or weeks
Managers lack clarity on “who owns what”
Too many approvals slow hiring, pay, or project launches
Cross-functional priorities conflict because there’s no unified cadence

2. Manager enablement gaps

Managers reinvent performance and onboarding processes
Meeting overload replaces actual accountability
Leadership rhythm varies by department, killing consistency
Good decisions die in email chains instead of dashboards

The Blueprint replaces ambiguity with structure — in 8–10 weeks, your team knows who decides, how work flows, and when accountability happens.
