Establishing confidence, focus, and performance when it matters most.
Even the best-designed transformations can lose altitude.
Momentum dips, signals get mixed, and the link between activity and outcome begins to blur. Boards sense drift; teams feel pressure. The question becomes not what’s wrong, but how do we get back on course?
That’s where Compass comes in.
Mid Flight: Compass
A mid-course assessment and turnaround service for recalibrating focus, restoring momentum, and regaining confidence. Compass underpins troubleshooting services, independent reviews, and recovery planning; providing insight and control when it matters most.
What Compass is
Compass is p3mg’s mid-flight assurance and performance uplift service. It’s designed for sponsors and transformation leaders who want an honest, constructive view of how things are really going; and practical steps to restore clarity and momentum.
This is not merely an audit. It’s a professional conversation grounded in evidence and experience underpinned by an AI-driven assessment platform. Compass brings a calm, independent perspective that cuts through reporting noise, identifies the few issues that really matter, and re-energises the people responsible for delivery.
How it works
Every Compass engagement is tailored to the pace and risk of the situation, but typically includes three phases:
Discovery and perception
We start with context: stakeholder interviews, document review, and where useful, a 360-degree performance perception survey. The goal is not to catch anyone out, but to surface how the transformation is actually experienced by those leading and delivering it.
Diagnosis and discussion
We attend key meetings, observe the decision rhythms, and triangulate evidence from data and dialogue. The findings are shared first with leadership; candidly, privately, and constructively; in a facilitated session focused on understanding, not blame.
Refocus and re-alignment
Together we agree the interventions that will make the biggest difference: governance refinements, scope resets, behavioural shifts, or communication changes. The output is a concise performance compass: a set of clear recommendations and agreed next steps to restore control and confidence.
The depth can from a one-day ‘pulse’ review to a structured, root-and-branch assessment, but the principle is the same: insight first, improvement immediately.
Why Leaders choose Compass
Because sometimes you are too close to see clearly; too involved to be independent.
Compass brings the distance, discretion, and depth that turn uncertainty into direction. It is led by senior practitioners who have guided complex transformations through turbulence before; people who know the difference between temporary noise and systemic drift.
Repeated assessments can lead to valuable, actionable data and trend insights. However, at its heart, Compass is not something you can automate or template. It relies on human judgement: the ability to read a room, interpret dynamics, and separate data from drama. A calm, external perspective that balances ambition with realism.
The outcome
After a Compass engagement, leadership teams regain focus, alignment, and confidence. The transformation has a credible plan to improve performance, a shared understanding of what success looks like next, and the energy to pursue it.
In short, the transformation performs, not just progresses.
