HOW WE WORK
How We Partner With You
Lasting transformation doesn't happen through one-off workshops or cookie-cutter programs. We use a four-phase approach that addresses your real challenges while building capacity that continues long after we're gone.
-

Diagnose
What happens: We listen deeply through executive interviews, leadership assessments, and review of your people systems and culture. We leverage AI to analyze patterns and surface insights faster.
Outcome: Shared understanding of your current reality, challenges ahead, and the leadership and people capacity required to move forward.
-

Design
What happens: We co-create a customized engagement that combines your real-world business needs with the leadership growth your team requires. No off-the-shelf programs.
Outcome: Tailored plan that addresses urgent challenges while building long-term organizational capacity.
-

Deliver
What happens: We partner with you through ongoing sessions, strategic counsel, and facilitation. For fractional CPO work, we join your leadership team meetings, build talent systems, and coach executives. For leadership development, teams tackle live challenges as their curriculum.
Outcome: Leaders expand capacity while delivering results today, building readiness for tomorrow.
-

Embed
What happens: We establish peer learning groups, embed reflection into leadership routines, and equip leaders to continue growth without external facilitation. For fractional CPO clients, we transition to full-time CHRO when ready or establish long-term partnership.
Outcome: Self-sustaining systems and learning communities where growth continues independently.
The Rysa Difference
We integrate people systems and leadership development. Most firms do one or the other. We do both because the best people systems fail if leaders can't execute them, and the best leadership development fails without organizational support.
We work on your actual challenges as they happen. Instead of workshops and simulations, your team learns while tackling their toughest live business challenges. Results and capacity building happen simultaneously.
We leverage AI for efficiency while maintaining human depth. AI augments our diagnostics, strategy development, and delivery speed. This frees us to focus on the complex human work that requires wisdom, presence, and insight.
We create self-sustaining learning communities. Our engagements end, but growth continues. We embed reflection practices, establish peer learning groups, and build capacity that regenerates independently.
What Working Together Looks Like
What Working Together Looks Like
The engagement is collaborative, not directive. We're partners at your leadership table, not consultants who disappear after delivering a report. Expect us to challenge your thinking, ask hard questions, and push you to see what you're too close to see.
Communication is regular and responsive. For fractional CPO engagements, expect weekly CEO check-ins, participation in leadership team meetings, and monthly board updates. For leadership development work, we design the cadence around your team's needs and the depth of transformation required.
Timelines vary by engagement type. The Leadership Capacity Diagnostic delivers insights in one half-day. Fractional CPO partnerships typically run 12-24 months. Leadership Growth Labs span 6-12 months. We're transparent about what's realistic and adjust as your needs evolve.
Support continues beyond formal engagement. We build systems and learning communities that keep working after we're gone. Many clients return for follow-up sessions, new challenges, or ongoing partnership as their organizations grow.
