 The Value Creation Paradox: Proven Playbooks, Stalled Exits

70% of change initiatives fail

These failures aren't random. They follow predictable patterns based on organizational maturity—the stage where demand exceeds capacity to respond.

56% of executives plan to leave within 2 years

Executive departures often signal mismatched interventions that created unsustainable demands. When organizations can't absorb change, leaders burn out or exit.

Extended holds cut IRR from 25% to 16%

Time kills deals. The same exit value delivered two years late destroys IRR, hampers fundraising, and signals underperformance to your LPs.

Frequently asked questions

What is Trajectory Intelligence?

We're developing a research-backed framework for understanding organizational maturity—how businesses evolve, what patterns emerge at different stages, and how to assess readiness for growth or transition. We're currently in the research phase, working with experts across private equity, organizational psychology, and M&A to validate our approach.

What stage are you at?

We're actively gathering feedback from subject matter experts and refining our research. This is pre-launch—you're joining early in the process, which means your input can genuinely shape what we build.

What will I receive by signing up?

That depends on your interest. Contributors will be invited to review research and provide feedback. Those interested in future services will get early access to tools and frameworks. Everyone stays informed about our progress through periodic updates (not spam—we're talking quarterly, not weekly).

I'm not sure which category I fit into. Can I just stay informed?

Absolutely. Many people in our network are simply curious about the work. You can always engage more deeply later.

Is this free?

Right now, yes. We're in the research and feedback phase. If we develop paid services or products down the line, early contributors and network members will have first access and special consideration.
