The 90-Deal Return Sprint

Momentum Advisors helps sponsors and portfolio leaders understand whether the business has the leadership capacity, structural design, decision architecture, operating behaviors, management infrastructure, and capability required to execute the plan.
Why the Sprint Exists

From Unclear Friction to Focused Action

When a company is under pressure to grow, integrate, improve performance, or prepare for the next stage, execution problems rarely appear in one clean category.

Leadership, decision rights, structure, culture, management systems, talent flow, and capability can all affect the same business outcome.

The 90-Deal Return Sprint is designed to quickly identify the real constraints, prioritize the moves that matter most, and give leadership a practical path forward.

Three Questions the Sprint Answers

Question 1

Where are we today?

A current-state view of leadership execution, structural design, decision clarity, operating behaviors, management infrastructure, and capability.
Question 2

What is slowing execution?

A ranked view of the constraints creating drag, risk, dependency, or delay.
Question 3

What do we fix first?

A sequenced action plan with priorities, owners, timing, and support required to execute.

How the 90 Days Work

Process
Days 1–15

Scope the Business Issue

We clarify the plan, business pressure, leadership context, operating priorities, and decisions the work needs to support.
Days 16–45

Diagnose the Constraints

We collect targeted input, review relevant business and operating context, and assess where leadership, structure, decision architecture, operating behaviors, management infrastructure, or capability may be helping or slowing execution.
Days 46–70

Prioritize the Moves

We separate symptoms from root causes, identify the highest-leverage constraints, and define which moves should happen first.
Days 71–90

Build the Action Plan

We deliver a board-ready roadmap with priorities, sequencing, owners, critical dependencies, and recommended next steps.
