From stuck to workable - change that lasts.
workableSCK partners with leaders and teams to unblock high-stakes work, restore momentum, and build the capability to do this kind of work again and again, without over-engineering solutions or adding unnecessary structure.
Your challenges:
When important work feels stuck or hard to move, it’s rarely because people aren’t capable or committed. More often, it’s because the way work happens is getting in the way.
workableSCK is uniquely positioned to help when one or more of these situations are showing up:
-
What the work looks like:
Rapid discovery scan: quick interviews + artifact review to pinpoint what’s actually blocking progress (ownership, decisions, sequencing, capacity, dependencies).
Clarify what “good” looks like: clarify the initiative’s real outcome, what “done” means, what must be true, and what’s in/out
Decision + ownership reset: establish who owns what, what decisions are required, and how decisions will be made and communicated.
A workable delivery plan: turn a messy effort into a short, clear plan (milestones, dependencies, decision points, risks).
Weekly momentum rhythm: lightweight weekly working sessions to unblock, decide, and keep delivery moving.
Embed + handoff: stay involved until momentum is real, then transition ownership and cadence to internal leaders.
A Critical Initiative Isn’t Moving
You’re Facing - or Navigating - a Major Disruption
-
What the work looks like:
Re-alignment sprint: surface what changed (and what didn’t), where interpretations diverge, and where drift is showing up in day-to-day work.
Clarity on “how we work now”: translate the disruption into practical implications for priorities, roles, decision paths, and operating norms.
Leadership narrative + priorities: help leaders create a shared story of the moment, what matters most now, and what will stop.
Operating rhythm reset: set or refresh the core meetings, decision forums, and communication loops so people aren’t busy in different directions.
Stabilize execution: support leaders through the first 4–8 weeks of the new cadence, adjusting based on what’s actually happening.
Strategy and the Organization Aren’t in Sync
-
What the work looks like:
Strategy-to-work translation: turn strategy into the handful of “must-win” outcomes and the workstreams that actually deliver them by adopting an adaptive strategy approach
Prioritization and “saying no”: create a practical way to make tradeoffs (what gets resourced, what pauses, what stops).
Role + structure fit check: identify where current roles/teams/interfaces are misaligned with the strategy (gaps, overlaps, unclear handoffs).
Decision rights + operating system: define the key decisions that drive the strategy and build the forums/rhythms to make them consistently.
Execution scorecard: define a small set of leading indicators so leaders can tell—early—if the strategy is landing.
Support implementation: stay involved long enough to ensure the approach to strategy - and the new ways of working needed to execute - is actually sticking and sustainable.
The Leadership Team Needs a Tune-Up (or More)
-
What the work looks like:
Leadership effectiveness snapshot: observe how the team makes decisions, sets priorities, and drives follow-through (not just how they “get along”).
Make decisions visible: define which decisions belong to the leadership team vs. elsewhere, and create a simple process for making and documenting them.
Align on the “one team” work: clarify what must be shared vs. what can remain siloed; reset accountabilities and cross-functional expectations.
Upgrade leadership meetings: redesign the agenda and rhythm so meetings produce decisions and action, not updates and debate loops.
Commitments + follow-through: establish a simple mechanism for tracking “what we decided,” owners, due dates, and escalation paths.
Coaching in the flow: targeted coaching for the leader/exec team members as new behaviors and practices take hold.
What We Do
workableSCK helps bring workability to work that is stalled or stuck.
We make sure it gets done.
We partner with leaders and teams to unblock complex work that matters. We work alongside your organization to clarify what actually needs to change, make the hard tradeoffs visible, and help carry critical initiatives through to real outcomes.
Our role goes beyond advice or facilitation.
We are deeply involved in shaping what gets done, how it gets done, and who is responsible, all the way to the completion of the work.
How We Work
While every engagement is different, our work typically includes a mix of:
Advising & Coaching: Working directly with leaders as they navigate tradeoffs, complexity, and moments of uncertainty.
Co-Delivery: Partnering alongside an executive, project lead, or department leader to help drive a critical initiative through to completion.
Design & Facilitation: Structuring and leading focused sessions that help teams and leaders surface real issues, make decisions, and move work forward.
The common thread is practical, hands-on work grounded in real challenges, not abstract frameworks.
