FrictionDx Areas of Diagnosis
ORGANIZATIONAL ALIGNMENT
Diagnoses whether structure, roles, and decision rights are aligned to strategy, scale, and current demands.
Use this diagnostic when confusion, escalation, or friction persists despite strong effort and capable people. Especially useful during or after growth, reorganization, or leadership changes.
LEADERSHIP CLARITY
Clarifies who leads what, with what authority, and what is truly expected of leaders at each level.
Use this diagnostic when leadership performance is uneven, expectations feels implicit instead of explicit, or accounatbility depends more on personalities than on clear authority.
OPERATING FOCUS
Identifies where execution breaks down by examining priorities, decision flow, and operating rhythm.
Use this diagnostic when teams are busy but progress is slow, priorities shift constantly, or execution feels reactive; planning exists but follow-through is unreliable.
CULTURAL COHERENCE
Evaluates whether stated values, everyday behaviors, and leadership actions reinforce or undermine each other.
Use this diagnostic when culture is discussed but feels vague, inconsistent, or performative; when trust, engagement, or accountability varies widely across teams.
FrictionDx is designed for:
-
Founders and Executives running organizations of up to 500 people
-
Leaders who want clarity, not validation
-
Teams that are growing, changing, or stuck
FrictionDx is not for:
-
Teams looking for motivation
-
One-size-fits-all frameworks
-
Leaders who want to pay a consultant to tell them what to do
Before you fix anything, diagnose the right problem.
Most organizations don't struggle because they choose bad solutions. They struggle because they solve the wrong internal problem.
​FrictionDX exists to stop expensive guesswork.
​
These tools help identify what is actually causing friction before you spend time, money, or political capital on the wrong fix.
​
Run the diagnostic first.
​
Clarity costs less than rework.
