IOANNIS STRIKOS

We often find out too late.

Speed without shared understanding is not speed. It’s deferred cost. 

Decisions and direction are often interpreted differently and if  clarification does not happen early enough, execution becomes very expensive.

I help managers, project managers, product leaders identify specific patterns in their environment that create late rework, escalation, or delays. 

My work is beyond standard consulting playbooks and helps reshape decisions, projects and product development structures so that learning and adjustment happen earlier and faster.

 

The Most Critical Infrastructure We Don’t Monitor

It feels very plausible to most of us that critical systems need continuous monitoring. We shouldn’t wait until a power grid, a data center, or a production line breaks and then analyse what went wrong.

I see the way organisations align decisions and execution across teams and departments as a critical infrastructure as well:

• How people interpret the same decision.
• How ownership is understood across teams and departments.
• How execution stays aligned when things move fast.

Often the above is monitored only indirectly: Through escalations, delays, rework, or cost overruns. In other words: After something already broke.
