Expert Practice Diagnostic

Uncover the subtle forces that shape expert performance — and transform how expertise drives your organisation forward

Experts are at the heart of your organisation’s ability to solve complex problems, innovate, and make informed decisions. Yet in many organisations, their potential is constrained by culture, structure, leadership, and processes that were never designed with experts in mind.

The Expert Practice Diagnostic reveals how expertise truly functions in your organisation — where expert influence thrives, where it is blocked, and what needs to change to fully unlock the strategic value of your expert workforce.

Purpose-built for expert-heavy environments, it gives leaders a clear, evidence-based path to building an organisation where experts contribute at their full potential.

The Challenges This Diagnostic Solves

Most organisations face similar systemic challenges when relying on expert talent:

  • Experts feel undervalued, unheard, or misunderstood

  • Leaders and experts struggle to collaborate effectively

  • Expert teams lack influence in strategic decisions

  • High-performing experts are frustrated or disengaged

  • Technical input arrives too late — or not at all

  • The culture undervalues evidence, depth, or critical thinking

  • Structures and processes prioritise authority over expertise

  • Career pathways for experts are unclear or non-existent

  • Experts lack confidence in influencing beyond their domain

  • Decision-making excludes essential expert insight

  • Technical teams show lower engagement or inclusion scores

These are not individual performance issues — they are systemic conditions.

The Expert Practice Diagnostic uncovers the real causes, the hidden patterns, and the opportunities for meaningful change.

What Makes This Diagnostic Different

The Expert Practice Diagnostic is uniquely positioned to understand expert environments in a way traditional engagement or capability tools cannot.

It is different because:

  • It is designed specifically for experts, not generic employees

  • It measures expert influence, not just engagement or technical skill

  • It reveals where expert power should exist but doesn’t

  • It integrates expert experience, leadership behaviour, structure, and culture

  • It blends quantitative and qualitative data for richer insight

  • It provides a systemic analysis, not an individual assessment

  • It identifies barriers that traditional surveys never capture

  • It incorporates both expert and leader perspectives

  • It produces a practical roadmap, not just a diagnostic report

  • It is aligned to a broader mission of elevating the standing of expertise

  • It is created and facilitated by a specialist with deep experience in technical organisations and expert coaching

This diagnostic speaks the language of experts — and understands the system they operate within.
