DECISION CLARITY · KEY ROLES
For the decisions you cannot make twice.
For decisions where the cost of a wrong call exceeds the cost of getting clarity.
Taradin helps organisations make better decisions regarding appointments, promotions and key roles — before uncertainty, doubt or misjudgements become costly.
The philosophy behind Taradin is also described in the book The Owl and the Invisible Compass. Discover the book →
Margareta Pyckhout spent 26 years in the financial sector, 18 of which were at executive level. She understands the decisions you cannot afford to get wrong — and helps you get them right.
SOUNDS FAMILIAR?
Sometimes an appointment or promotion doesn't quite feel right, without anyone being able to pinpoint exactly why. Sometimes a key role starts to feel like a bad fit, even though the person in question has all the right qualifications on paper. And sometimes an important decision gets stuck because the consequences are too significant to rely on intuition alone.
In other situations, the issue is less obvious. A manager is not performing as expected. Responsibilities are becoming blurred. An organisation is growing faster than its roles and structures. Or doubts arise as to whether a problem really lies with the person, or rather with the role, the context or the way decisions are made.
When such questions arise, more information is rarely the solution. What is needed is clarity about what is really going on — before decisions become costly or difficult to reverse.
HOW TO GET IN
Every collaboration begins with an exploratory discussion. When a decision is important enough not to rely solely on gut feeling, a Decision Clarity Scan is carried out where relevant. In this process, we examine the decision, the people involved, their roles and the context.
Only then does it become clear whether the issue primarily concerns role fit, a deeper analysis of the individual, or the architecture of roles and decision-making.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. Tangible results.
"The friction rarely lies with the individual alone. It lies in the mismatch between role, ability and context."
When a decision is delayed, it is rarely without good reason.

Role- & Decision Architecture
When the issue is not the person, but how role, mandate and decision-making are structured.
Among other things, Taradin uses a work-level approach to highlight instances where the complexity of a role no longer aligns with what the structure, context or individual can actually carry.
