Capability 05 · Executive Advisory

Think at
the Top.

Executive Advisory & CEO Counsel

The other four capabilities close gaps in your organisation. This one closes the gap at the top. A senior partner who has seen what you are dealing with before, who will tell you what you need to hear, and who has no interest in telling you what you want to.

Primary Diagnostic Instrument
LCEA™
The Leadership & Culture Effectiveness Assessment. At the executive level, this gives a precise picture of how leadership decisions are being translated — or not — into the organisation below.

Who This Is For

The leaders who
have stopped trusting the room.

Most senior executives are surrounded by people who tell them what they want to hear. The board is supportive. The team is aligned. And the organisation is quietly not doing what was decided.

Think at the Top is for CEOs, MDs, and board members who want someone outside the room — with the experience to understand what is actually happening, and the directness to say it.

This is not coaching. It is not facilitation. It is a working partnership with a practitioner who has been inside organisations like yours and knows what the problems at your level actually look like.

CEOs & Managing Directors
Senior executives who need a thinking partner outside the organisation — not a consultant with a methodology to sell.
Boards & Board Chairs
Boards navigating succession, strategic pivots, or performance concerns at the leadership level.
CHROs & People Leaders
Senior HR leaders who are managing upward as much as downward — and need a practitioner to think with, not a framework to follow.
Founders at Scale
Founders who have built something significant and are navigating the transition from founder-led to professionally managed — without losing what made it work.
What We Deliver

Services inside
Think at the Top.

Think at the Top engagements are designed individually. The starting point is always the LCEA™ — a diagnostic read of the leadership system before any advisory relationship begins.

Executive Retainer
A structured monthly engagement — regular sessions, access between sessions, and a working relationship that deepens over time. Minimum six months.
Board Advisory
Working directly with the board on performance concerns, leadership transitions, or strategic execution gaps at the governance level.
CEO Coaching & Development
Not behavioural coaching. Performance-focused development built on the LCEA™ and designed around the specific leadership gap.
Strategic Decision Support
A thinking partner for major decisions — acquisitions, restructuring, leadership appointments, strategic pivots. Someone to pressure-test the reasoning before it becomes a commitment.
Execution Partner Retainer
For organisations at ₦200M–₦2B revenue that need structured execution oversight without a full-time COO. INDYMAND runs the operating engine: weekly check-ins, initiative tracking, monthly reporting.
Succession Advisory
Structuring leadership succession — identifying internal candidates, assessing readiness, and managing the transition without disrupting performance.
"The most expensive decisions in any organisation are the ones made at the top without sufficient challenge. Our job in this capability is to be that challenge — consistently, constructively, and without agenda."
