The HCM Pre-Flight Checklist is a structured 30-minute diagnostic that helps executive teams assess their People operations readiness before scaling, acquiring, or transforming the business.
These 12 dimensions map the most common failure points in People infrastructure for scaling organizations. How many can you answer confidently?
Is your HR operating model explicitly designed for your current headcount and complexity, or inherited from a smaller version of the company?
Does your current HCM platform support the workflows, scale, and integration needs of your organization today — not three years ago?
Can you produce a reliable headcount, cost, and capacity report within 24 hours? Is that data trusted by the business?
If you were to close an acquisition tomorrow, do you have a People integration playbook ready to execute? Has it been tested?
For each of your top 20 roles, is there an identified, developed successor who is 6–12 months from readiness?
Is your talent acquisition model designed to scale with the business, or does it break every time you open a new site or business unit?
Do employees and managers experience HR as a strategic partner or an administrative bottleneck? How do you know?
Are your pay bands, incentive structures, and total rewards designed to retain the talent your business needs at its next stage?
As you expand into new states, countries, or labor categories, does your compliance framework scale automatically or require manual intervention?
Is your People team structured and staffed to support the business’s next 18 months of growth, or are they already operating at maximum capacity?
Have you identified where AI-enabled tools can reduce People ops friction, and do you have a roadmap to implement them?
Does the C-suite have a shared, explicit view of the People infrastructure investments required to support the business plan?
In a single session, we assess your People infrastructure against these 12 dimensions and tell you exactly where the gaps are — with a prioritized summary you can act on immediately.
