The Organisational Diagnostic

The Organisational
Diagnostic

When was the last time you looked under the hood of your organisation?

Most businesses have structural issues that stay hidden – especially where too much depends on a small number of people – until they surface at the worst possible moment.

What's on offer

The Organisational Diagnostic is a rigorous examination of how your business actually operates. Through interviews and structured analysis, we surface the patterns, decisions and behaviours influencing performance – including where the organisation still relies too heavily on individuals to function – often in ways that aren’t immediately visible.

The output

A clear, grounded report that sets out what is really happening – and what needs to change.

Operational Diagnostic

This quick test will provide you with a quick snapshot of how your business actually operates.

Who this is for

The people I work with are responsible for the direction and performance of the business. Founders, owners, MDs and senior executives who are close enough to understand the reality of the organisation, and senior enough to change it.

YesI do my best with those willing to be challenged and examine their own role in what is happening.
NoIf you are looking for reassurance, validation or someone to carry out instructions, this is not the right fit.

Developing clear approaches to the complex issues

I work with leaders of established organisations who want the business to grow without everything resting on their shoulders.

Most of the time the business is viable, the people are solid and there’s real potential. But the structure underneath hasn’t kept up with the ambition.

I work with the leadership team to get clear on what you’re trying to build, the work that matters and how to structure the business to compete for it.

If you are ready to build an organisation that no longer depends on you, we should talk.

Testimonials

Dara has been working one-to-one with a number of my senior team over the last year and a half. He has steadily built their leadership capabilities and as a result has accelerated their careers – some to the extent that they are now ready to assume even more responsibility. I highly recommend him.

Stephen Murphy
Head of Service Delivery, Circet Ireland & UK

Dara has been working with key members of our team, equipping them with new levels of confidence and preparing them for the next levels of responsibility within our small organisation. His work has been seminal, both for the individuals concerned, and their contribution to our company’s future. I unreservedly recommend him as an empathetic coach who helps professionals clarify personal mission and vision, find and focus their mojo and, ultimately, make a difference.

Pádraic Gilligan, Managing Partner
SoolNua

Dara was a port in a storm as I began a new role in a new industry. He was quick to engage and establish a relationship of trust and support. Every time we met he steered me through known and unknown issues at hand, and helped me move forward with tangible plans and confidence. His own wealth of senior experience in people, projects and challenges was a key differentiator as a coach and I would thoroughly recommend him.

Senior Executive
Government Agency

I gave Dara an employee who showed great potential but who lacked an understanding of the mechanisms of business. He gave me back a probable leader who has taken the lid off her perceived limitations and grown in stature in the eyes of those who matter to her career progression.
