Emergent Dynamics Influencing Decision-Making Within C-Suite Teams During An Unexpected Crisis.

Measuring how leadership teams and business units respond to change is both art and science
Complex organizations can otherwise spend months, or more, trying to identify performance patterns—and even longer to act on what should have been anticipated. Distraction and delay cause big opportunity costs.strategy and abilities.
Our discipline emphasizes scale, speed, precision, and experience in strategy and technology. Complex organizations can otherwise spend months identifying performance patterns and longer to act, risking distraction and delays in turbulent times.
01

What’s Needed to Execute?
You need to identify the key leadership qualities essential to excel quickly in altered terrain through co-creation. Working with the CEO, we examine the company’s emerging or critical events, like post-merger organization design or disruption caused by new technology or competition. The CEO then invites the Top Management Team on the journey to measure six tightly defined "Success Factors" vital to meeting expectations.
02
TMTPredict Simulations
TM’s proprietary simulations have been used by thousands of business leaders. They’re the only objective, validated means of efficiently identifying what Harvard Business Review calls “deep smarts.”
The management team is taken through a series of simple, timed simulations to chart their first reactions to various types of information. There are no right or wrong responses, but they identify attributes and different cognitive skills based on simulation scenarios. Tectonic Methods then uses a proprietary TMTPredict model to simulate decision-making, originally developed by the Pentagon to select fighter pilots. This model has been refined and validated to apply to business.
03
AI Enabled Multi-Level Analysis
Aggregating and Integrating diverse data sources within an engagement, TM leverages qualitative and quantitative tools to develop a multidimensional understanding of an organization's capacities, limitations, and dynamics. This process is handled through rigorous social science methods combined with AI engines to distill and identify broad operational conditions. Thereby, exposing otherwise hidden factors and patterns that impact executive team decisions and outcomes.
04
Strategic Framing
Findings from simulations, interviews, and multilevel analyses are placed in context. Predictions take shape. We model future performance to see how outcomes will be affected by changes in team composition, or by boosting the intangible capacities of a BU, or by taking a different tack.
The CEO’s Success Factors serve as a critical benchmark, guiding organizational response and highlighting areas for improvement. Through a blend of predictive analytics and performance metrics, we ensure that leadership, operations, and strategy are seamlessly aligned to excel in rapidly evolving market conditions.

Delivery & Execution
Analyses, predictions, recommendations and hands-on guidance to the CEO
For the CEO, our modeling shows the pluses and minuses of different ways forward, which enables more robust and prescient decision-making.
Internal market research findings from the TM process:
-
For the Top Management Team, “war room” planning sessions for excelling amid what’s ahead.
-
We identify previously unseen obstacles and advise how to avoid them.
-
High performing segments of the organization are contrasted with less impressive ones. We show the reasons—with special reference to why some segments will align themselves rapidly with change . . .and why others more slowly.
-
We document how best to strengthen the organization given the specific critical issues being faced. That includes helping to deploy smaller, highly synergistic “A teams” for special tasks.
-
We also conduct personal debriefings for each participant to explain what each individual helped to accomplish. (Development plans are available as needed.)
Knowledge is power, but action is how leaders achieve new levels of versatility and adapt to change effectively.
