Busy teams. Slow decisions. “Why are we always late?”
Most leaders aren’t short on effort or ideas. What’s missing is a clear picture of where work gets stuck, why it gets stuck, and what that delay is costing you in dollars, capacity, and missed opportunities. When the market shifts, execution friction becomes a profit problem.
Common signals:
-
Teams are slammed, but throughput is flat
-
Commitments slip and surprises pile up
-
Priorities change faster than delivery can adapt
-
Quality issues and rework steal capacity
-
Leadership spends more time chasing status than making decisions
The Profit Triage Sprint
The Profit Triage Sprint is a focused, 90-minute working session designed to surface the few constraints that matter most. We connect operational friction to measurable outcomes like cycle time, cost-to-serve, incident/defect rates, and on-time delivery.
What you walk away with:
-
3–5 specific “profit leaks” (not vague maturity gaps)
-
A rough order-of-magnitude impact estimate (time, capacity, dollars)
A clear recommendation for what to do next:
-
Do nothing (and understand the cost)
-
Fix it internally (with a simple plan)
-
Run a focused recovery sprint to prove improvement
How it works (simple on purpose)
1
Quick intake (15 minutes)
A short pre-call questionnaire so we don’t waste time in the session.
2
The 90-minute sprint
We map where work slows down, where decisions stall, and where overload creates rework.
3
Evidence-ready next steps
You get a clear, low-regret path forward: stop, fix internally, or run a recovery sprint with before/after metrics.
Thom Kokenge, WA
"Before I worked with Tom at Disruption Dynamics I was lost, had only a scattered plan, and was going in a somewhat forward direction. Tom worked with me (emphasis mine) to create goals with direct actionable steps and how to achieve them. Your time will not be wasted when you work with Tom as he helped me adapt to what is currently happening, get focus on what it is I actually want and need, and see how I can thrive in the chaos and disruption that is happening today."
Four ways we help (start small, scale only when proven)
-
Profit Triage Sprint (start here)
Find the leaks. Quantify them. Decide what’s worth fixing now.
-
Operational Profit Recovery Sprint (2–4 weeks)
Fix one constraint in one value stream and measure the improvement in cycle time, throughput, predictability, quality, or cost-to-serve.
-
Revenue and Demand Shock Readiness
Build a lightweight sensing-to-decision cadence so you stop getting surprised and start responding faster without chaos.
-
Execution and Reliability
Sustain gains, reduce backsliding, improve on-time delivery, and create visibility without adding bureaucracy.
