Prep

Your next exec needs to execute your vision, not reconstruct it

01

The new hire tax you're paying

You just hired a VP to accelerate growth.

But their first 90 days look like:

  1. 23 "context gathering" meetings
  2. Asking "What's our strategy?" and getting 5 different answers
  3. Building their own interpretation of what you meant
  4. Launching things that miss your vision

By the time they're oriented, they've:

  1. Made decisions you have to unwind
  2. Built momentum in wrong direction
  3. Lost 90 days of growth velocity

And everyone's asking: "Did we hire wrong?"

‍No. You just didn't give them a frame to execute against.

How This Works

02

We'll create a clear, executive-grade starting point


Before they start. Before they guess. Before momentum goes sideways.

‍We document your vision, strategy, and GTM plans, so they inherit execution clarity, not strategic ambiguity.

Weeks 1-2: Capture your actual strategy

Not what's in your deck. What's in your head.

  • Who you're serving (and why others wait)
  • Where you're playing (and what you're ruling out)
  • How you're winning (and what makes it defensible)
  • What their role actually drives (and doesn't)
  • Output: Vision Framework from Dot Connector AI

‍
‍Week 2-3: Build executable context

Turn your strategy into frameworks they can execute against day one.

Product context:

  • What to build (priorities with rationale)
  • What not to build (with revisit triggers)
  • How to sequence (dependencies visible)


Go-to Market (GTM) context:

  • Who to target (with buying triggers)
  • What not to build (with revisit triggers)
  • How to sequence (dependencies visible)
  • Output: Product Strategy + GTM Execution Frameworks from Dot Connector AI

‍
Week 3-4: Define early wins

  • What matters in their first 90 days
  • Where to focus (clear priorities)
  • Where to hold (what not to touch)
  • How to build credibility fast (quick wins defined)
  • When to revisit strategy (triggers, not timelines)
  • Output: 90-day execution summary

‍
Week 4: Lock leadership alignment

  • Ensure everyone will tell them the same thing.
  • Leadership working session.
  • Everyone sees the same strategy.
  • No competing interpretations.
  • Output: One version of strategy everyone defends

What You Leave With

03

Protection from preventable issues later.

You're sponsoring a critical hire. You know:
  • If they're confused, you look bad
  • If they launch wrong, you unwind it
  • If they fail, the board questions your judgment
This protects you from all of that.

‍Not because it makes the VP smarter. Because it gives them something to stand on.

Documented frameworks from the Dot Connector System™, customized to your specific friction points:

  • Vision that doesn't need re-explaining
  • Product decisions that don't get re-litigated
  • GTM execution that doesn't reset every quarter

Before/after diagnostic scores
Measurable evidence of what changed. Something you can show the CEO or board.

Clarity that scales without you.
Clear enough that execution doesn't depend on you being present. Specific enough that your new hire knows what to do.

Lifetime access to Dot Connector Dispatch Pro
So sensemaking becomes a repeatable habit, not a one-time event.

What Changes When You Use Prep

04

New exec hires inherit clarity, not confusion.

Before Prep:

  • Week 1-4: Context gathering (23 meetings)
  • Week 5-8: Building interpretation
  • Week 9-12: First launch (wrong direction)
  • Week 13-16: Course correcting
  • First real contribution: Week 17
  • Your time: Unwinding false starts

After Prep:

  • Week 1: Executing on documented strategy
  • Week 3: First meaningful output
  • Week 5: First launch (on-strategy)
  • Week 8: Momentum compounding
  • First real contribution: Week 3
  • Your time: Building, not correcting

The Math:

  • Ramp time: 90 days → 21 days
  • False starts: 2-3 → 0
  • Your course-correction time: 40+ hours → 0
  • Market window captured: Yes (instead of missed)
