Timeline

The audit is time-boxed to three months.

1. Month 1 — gather information and analyze.
2. Month 2 — write the report and recommendations.
3. Month 3 — present findings and start the five-step plan.

Five-step plan

The plan is tailored to the company. Recommendations are broken down by team, and sometimes by person. Steps are time-boxed so work does not stall or drift.

1. Train — close skill gaps without stopping day-to-day work.
2. Quick wins — use new knowledge on low-hanging improvements.
3. Rebuild — refactor systems and processes that need real change.
4. Look ahead — plan future tech where it multiplies value.
5. Retrospect — review what worked and set a multi-year direction.
