The window Transition Intelligence owns
A new role is a new signal environment. Most leaders navigate it on inbox willpower. Transition Intelligence™ gives every incoming or newly mandated executive attention infrastructure from day one: business signals surfaced, scored, routed, and remembered.
01 · Map
A dated map of the leader's actual next hundred days — regulatory effective dates, payer and renewal calendars, competitor and labor movement — weighted against their stated objectives and scored for strength and decay. Dates, not advice.
02 · Calibrate
ATTENTION SCORE
One score, one drift readout, one question back — a two-minute weekly answer to the only question that matters: is your attention going where your objectives say it should?
03 · Remember
Every logged decision becomes institutional memory — culminating in a day-100 retrospective the leader can put in front of their board: signals caught, windows acted on, precedents set.
Day 0
Every placement ships with it. Boards and CHROs deploy it for internal successions and cohorts.
Week 1
Critical windows on a calendar, routed to the people around you. Provenance on every signal.
Weekly
Score, drift, decay report — and one question back that builds the ledger.
Day 100
The tenure's first hundred days, as a system — not a scramble.
“Companies don’t invest in executive search. They invest in leadership outcomes. Our responsibility doesn’t end when a leader is hired — that’s where the next phase begins. Transition Intelligence is that conviction made real. Available to M2 clients, it gives newly placed leaders access to a world-class intelligence infrastructure designed to sharpen decision-making, accelerate impact, and create value from day one.”
“Enterprises don't have a data problem, they have an attention problem, and it's never more acute than in a leadership transition. Transition Intelligence gives one leader the attention infrastructure of an entire enterprise. It's the first product that treats a leader's first hundred days as a system, not a genre of advice.”
