C3PT places a seated executive inside two weeks, stabilizes the operation in ninety days, and rebuilds the systems underneath it.
Multi-site operations, workforce cost, capital programs, regulatory exposure, and merger integration.
Every engagement is scoped to the situation. Contact for rate.
An empty operating seat does not slow an organization evenly. Payroll runs. Shifts get covered. What stops is everything that requires a person with authority to decide, sign, defend, or absorb risk. Capital projects wait on a signature that carries consequence. Contract labor climbs because the staffing model has no owner. Corrective actions slip because no one at the table is accountable for closing them. None of it appears on a financial statement, so none of it gets priced. It surfaces two quarters later as turnover, findings, and eroded margin, and by then it answers to a different name.
All three are recoverable. The difference is how fast someone with authority takes the seat.
Engagements are sequenced so that you can establish value before you commit budget. The first step carries no fee.
Twenty-five questions drawn from the same framework we apply on paid engagements. You receive a scored assessment identifying where the operation is failing and which of the five areas is constraining the others.
Thirty days on site. You receive a documented account of what is failing, what it is costing, and the sequence required to correct it. Written so that your board can read it and your operators can execute against it.
An executive seated inside two weeks who runs the enterprise, carries the decisions, and answers for the results. Your permanent hire inherits a stabilized organization rather than an unresolved one.
Each begins with evidence and ends with a system the organization runs without us.
A thirty-day baseline across the five operating disciplines, built from on-site interviews, workforce data, and direct observation, delivered with a ninety-day roadmap. The self-scored instrument is published free below. The engagement adds the evidence, the analysis, and the plan.
Baldrige criteria and High Reliability principles assembled into a single operating system, with monthly executive coaching, a live performance dashboard, quarterly reporting, and annual reassessment.
Intervention for an organization in transition, conflict, or crisis, structured to produce one measurable result inside ninety days.
Confidential one-to-one coaching for the leaders already in your seats: a new chief, a stretched deputy, a director carrying a turnaround. Grounded in the Executive Core Qualifications, Baldrige criteria, and High Reliability principles, and delivered by an executive who has held the chair rather than studied it.
The method is the C3PT Operating System: Communication, Collaboration, Culture, Perseverance, Trust. It is published in full, so you can read the whole system before you engage anyone. It has been deployed across government, military, healthcare, faith-based, and corporate environments, because it does not measure what you produce. It measures whether leadership, workforce, and operations are pointed at the same result. Malcolm Baldrige criteria and High Reliability Organization principles supply the measurement discipline underneath it.
