Wondering where to start?
Begin with an OS5™ QuickScan
In 20-minutes, gain insight acrosss five critical domains
- Organizational Clarity – Are roles and responsibilities clearly defined?
- Systems Readiness – Can your current structure support the next phase of growth?
- Role Capacity – Who’s stretched too thin to scale?
- Leadership Alignment – Are decisions made consistently and coherently?
- Cultural Traction – Is your culture fueling—or fighting—growth?
The OS5™ QuickScan is a founder-facing screening tool designed to surface early indicators of people-related risk—before they escalate into culture cracks, team bottlenecks, or post-close surprises. You'll walk away with:
✓ A clear view of what’s breaking
✓ Where your bench is thin
✓ A tailored 30–90 day action plan
Think of it as a smart filter: it pinpoints where OS5™ support is needed most — without overwhelming your team upfront.
What Comes After the Scan?
Work with Dr. Tina and get a custom OS5™ road map or expert help with a Full OS5™ Diagnostic.
Your OS5™ checks include:
- Check Engine – Diagnose leadership friction
- Readiness Map – Align team maturity with growth
- Signal Alignment – Design internal communication scaffolding
- Capability Sync – Develop leadership capacity and succession
- OS Upgrade – Codify culture and decision-making at scale
