Questions
The useful questions arrive before the call.
Is COMPASS an advisory engagement?+
Not in the usual sense. Compass is a navigation system. The work is to make context visible so leaders can make better decisions from reality, not from a louder opinion.
Who should be in the first conversation?+
Usually the CEO, CTO, an Engineering Director, or the person who feels the mismatch between executive intent and team reality most clearly.
What if the company already has dashboards?+
Dashboards show signals. COMPASS helps leadership understand what kind of work produced those signals and what kind of decision the moment requires.
How do we know if this is a fit?+
The first session is designed to answer that. If the problem is not a navigation problem, the next step should be something else.
