When the leader can scale — but the operating posture has to be reset.
An 8-week 1:1 AI Operating Posture sprint for a senior leader already in seat. Diagnostic-informed. Evidence-graded.
The Transformation is not AI training, leadership coaching, or generic advisory. It is a structured operating reset for a specific senior leader against a specific role — built for cases where the evidence shows the raw material to scale is there, and the gap is operational rather than capability.
An 8-week structured engagement working 1:1 with the leader. Weekly artifact-driven sessions, not chat-based coaching. A deliberate operating-posture redesign across the six dimensions of the Future-Proof Leadership Lens. A final state report delivered to the sponsor, with evidence-graded change against each dimension.

Cross-Functional Translation Power
Eight weeks. 1:1 with the leader. Weekly artifact-driven sessions evidence-graded against the Lens. The sponsor sees the diagnostic findings and approves the engagement scope before kickoff. The leader sees the work, not just the conclusion.
Diagnostic required before acceptance. A Readiness Index, completed by RunRetained or by another partner under our review, anchors the work. Without diagnostic evidence, there is nothing to operate against.
Engagement-scoped pricing, disclosed before acceptance. Specific fee, payment schedule, and engagement scope confirmed in writing before kickoff.
Limited to a small number of engagements per quarter. The work is partner-led and capacity-bounded by design.
Why a Transformation, not a Search.
The Index routes to Transform when the evidence shows the leader has the operating raw material to scale — learning velocity, stakeholder trust, cross-functional translation power — and the gap is the operating posture itself. If the Index says Search, RunRetained says Search. If it says Transform, the work is structural, not motivational. The recommendation follows the evidence.
- A senior leader the Index routed to Transform rather than Search.
- A leader at a scope-expansion inflection — succession setup, AI-shaped mandate, business model shift.
- A founder or CEO who needs to deliberately redesign their own operating posture.
- A CHRO who needs to demonstrate to the board that an internal investment was made before any external search.
Not AI training. Not leadership coaching. Not generic advisory. Not a group course. Not a substitute for the Readiness Index. Not a substitute for a Search when the evidence says the role has outgrown the leader.
See if it’s a fit.
Diagnostic required before acceptance. Limited to a small number of engagements per quarter.
Confidentiality is the default. Sensitive leadership questions, replacement searches, succession concerns, and diagnostic findings are handled directly by Jason and shared only with agreed stakeholders.
