Coherence-Driven Consulting

Systems-focused consulting for navigating complexity, growth, and change.

Why does work feel harder than it should - even when people are capable and trying?

What happens when people, processes, and incentives aren’t aligned?
Where is friction quietly draining momentum?

We work with small to mid-sized organizations - especially those growing quickly - to improve clarity, coherence, and momentum across technical, human, and organizational systems.

This work is grounded in systems thinking, long-term design, and practical experience operating in complex environments where reliability, trust, and alignment matter.

How I approach this work

Our consulting philosophy is shaped by a few core principles:

• Medium- to long-term thinking. We prioritize designs and decisions that hold up over time - not just what looks good this quarter

• Curiosity over inertia. “We’ve always done it this way” is rarely a sufficient reason. That said, change doesn’t need to be disruptive or adversarial. Most systems can evolve gently, if approached thoughtfully

• The middle way. I’m generally skeptical of extremes - hyper-optimization, rigid dogma, or one-size-fits-all frameworks. Sustainable systems tend to live in the balance between structure and flexibility

• Cooperation with boundaries. Healthy competition can be useful. Monopolies and extractive dynamics are not. I believe in cooperation without naïveté - clear boundaries, shared incentives, and mutual respect matter.

• Open inquiry. I prefer to explore possibilities before collapsing prematurely on solutions. Many of the best outcomes emerge from keeping the system open just long enough to see what it’s really doing.

These principles shape both what I work on and how I engage.

What I work on

We are highly effective in engagements that involve:

• Technical and organizational infrastructure

• Systems architecture and systems analysis

• Cross-team alignment and flow

• Translating between stakeholders within different domains

• Modeling, frameworks, and scenario thinking

While my background is deeply technical, the work itself is rarely “just technical.”
It usually sits at the intersection of people, process, and systems.

Who this is for

ENFAM engagements are a good fit if:

• your organization is growing and starting to feel friction

• you have strong people but increasing complexity

• systems that once worked are beginning to strain

• you value clarity over buzzwords

• you’re willing to examine assumptions - not just optimize outputs

• you want advice grounded in experience, not ideology

It’s especially well-suited to sophisticated organizations, motivated teams, and leaders who want to understand their systems - not just manage them.

How engagements usually begin

Most consulting engagements start small.

Often with:

• a focused diagnostic conversation

• a short exploratory engagement

• or a specific area of concern

From there, we decide together whether it makes sense to go deeper.

I’m selective about longer-term work and prioritize mutual fit, clarity of intent, and shared expectations.

Relationship to AI Enablement

AI Enablement is often a practical entry point into this work.

In many cases, AI acts as:

• a visibility tool for existing system dynamics

• a force multiplier for both strengths and weaknesses

• a catalyst for broader conversations about flow, alignment, and design

Some engagements stay at that layer. Others naturally expand into deeper systems and organizational work.

Both are valid.

Engagements and pricing are shaped around the people, the system, and the context.
