When Leaders Engage Advisory Support
Organizations typically seek advisory perspective when they are facing moments of consequence, including:
execution inconsistency across functions or regions
governance or accountability uncertainty
ethical or conduct risk concerns
rapid growth or organizational change
cultural misalignment despite strong leadership intent
decisions carrying reputational or operational exposure
These challenges are rarely isolated events. They are signals emerging from how the organization is designed to operate.
Executive Advisory conversations focus on understanding those underlying conditions.
The Nature of the Work
Executive Advisory engagements are not coaching, training, or traditional consulting projects.
They are structured leadership discussions designed to help senior decision-makers see organizational patterns that are difficult to observe from inside the system.
The objective is clarity.
When leaders understand how systems shape behavior, decisions become more deliberate, risk becomes more visible, and execution stabilizes.
Advisory Areas
Seattle Consulting Group currently advises organizations through two primary areas of focus:
Execution Control
Examining how authority, accountability, and decision structures influence operational execution and leadership alignment.
Organizational Ethics & Execution Risk Diagnostic
Assessing how organizational design influences ethical behavior, governance exposure, and leadership decision environments.
Each engagement begins with conversation and context rather than predefined solutions.
Beginning the Conversation
Executive Advisory relationships typically begin with a confidential discussion focused on current organizational realities and leadership priorities.
If a deeper examination appears valuable, a structured engagement may follow.

Executive Advisory
Leadership Questions Rarely Arrive Fully Defined
Senior leaders rarely seek advice because a problem is obvious.
More often, something feels misaligned.
Execution slows despite strong strategy.
Ethical risk appears without clear cause.
Accountability becomes uneven across teams.
Performance depends too heavily on individual leaders rather than organizational design.
These situations are rarely solved through additional initiatives or programs.
They require perspective.
Executive Advisory work provides leaders with structured space to examine how organizational design, leadership expectations, and operational realities interact under pressure.
