The Capability Debt

Why change initiatives stall

Most organisations do not fail because of poor strategy.

They stall because the leadership capability required to execute change has not been upgraded.

In the AI era, complexity is compounding. New tools, new structures, new expectations — but the underlying leadership systems often remain unchanged.

This creates capability debt:

  • Misaligned decisions

  • Change fatigue

  • Structural bottlenecks

  • Cultural resistance

  • Inconsistent delivery

The CHANGE Sprint is designed to diagnose and reduce capability debt quickly — by restoring clarity, alignment, and a practical operating rhythm.

What this Sprint delivers 

The CHANGE Sprint focuses on your organisation’s Change Loop the cycle of leadership behaviour, structure, and execution that either accelerates or blocks progress.

In this Sprint, you will:

  • Diagnose whether you are operating in a vicious, balanced, or virtuous Change Loop

  • Identify your top three capability constraints

  • Clarify the execution risks if unchanged

  • Establish a focused 30-day leadership reset plan 

  • Install a repeatable rhythm for leading change effectively

  • 30-minute Executive Debrief 

This is not theory.

It is structured, applied capability building.

 

 

 

Designed for executive sponsors and senior leaders

This Sprint is built for leaders accountable for change outcomes, including:

  • CEOs, MDs, and founders navigating growth or restructuring

  • Functional heads responsible for performance and execution

  • Transformation, Talent, L&D, and OD leaders building internal capability

Whether you are leading change individually, across a team, or enterprise-wide — this Sprint provides a structured starting point.
