What Institutions Skip Before They Start Building

Most institutional leadership programs include an assessment component. What they rarely include is an assessment that precedes the design. The diagnostic layer that should inform how a program is built, what the cohort is carrying, and where friction is already present, arrives after the design is locked. That sequencing is not neutral. It is the reason well-resourced programs produce inconsistent outcomes.
