Question 1

What exactly is Organizational Intelligence?

Accepted Answer

It is the measurement of the cross-cutting conditions that determine whether your strategy actually produces outcomes. It sits above HR analytics and operational dashboards, measuring the connective tissue between departments that neither one captures.

Question 2

How is this different from a climate or engagement survey?

Accepted Answer

A survey scores sentiment, department by department. ISEE diagnoses the single root condition driving symptoms across departments, and delivers a decision document naming what to change, not a dashboard of scores.

Question 3

How is this different from hiring a large consultancy?

Accepted Answer

Large firms sell general strategy by the hour and leave when the engagement ends. ISEE delivers a specialized diagnostic built for your institution type, at a fixed fee, in a fraction of the time, and can stay to monitor the conditions continuously.

Question 4

How long does an engagement take?

Accepted Answer

A Compass Briefing produces a written preliminary read within 72 hours. A full Clarity Diagnostic is scoped to your institution and delivered on a defined timeline agreed in advance.

Question 5

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

ISEE prices by the decision, not the hour. The Compass Briefing is complimentary; the Clarity Diagnostic is a fixed fee scoped to institution size; the Steward Retainer is annual. You approve a written fee before any work begins.

Question 6

Who actually delivers the work?

Accepted Answer

Engagements are led by Dr. Gabriel Woods, who applies industrial-engineering methodology to educational institutions. Every diagnosis is delivered in writing so its reasoning is fully transparent and reviewable.

Question 7

Is our data kept confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Interviews and documents are handled confidentially, and the written diagnosis is delivered only to the leaders you designate. Data handling and privacy expectations are agreed in the engagement scope.

Question 8

What do we receive at the end?

Accepted Answer

A written organizational diagnosis: one named root condition, six scored STELAR dimensions with evidence, the three highest-leverage moves in priority order, a one-page board summary, and an executive readout.

Stress-tested before it reaches a district.
