Reality Check™ Summary
Situation: A non-profit needed an IT roadmap and leadership transition after receiving recommendations that didn’t fit budget or reality.
Reality Check™: The bottleneck wasn’t effort — it was unclear ownership, unclear capability gaps, and decisions that stalled between stakeholders.
Intervention: Ran an IT + staff capability assessment, clarified roles and decision rights, and produced a phased roadmap that matched constraints.
Result: Accountability improved, decisions sped up, and the transition to a new IT director became structured instead of reactive.
