DECISION CLARITY · KEY ROLES
Taradin helps reduce the risk of the wrong executive appointment.
For appointments, promotions and key roles where the cost of getting it wrong is greater than the cost of gaining clarity first.

SOUNDS FAMILIAR?
Does this soud familiar?
- You see a strong CV, but not yet whether someone truly fits the role.
- You see experience and potential, but not yet how someone will actually take up this key role in this context.
- An appointment or promotion seems logical, and yet doubt remains.
- You see a strong management team, but not why collaboration keeps creating friction.
- Important decisions keep stalling. Not because nobody wants to decide, but because something essential still remains unseen.
More information does not always create clarity. Seeing differently often does.
Taradin brings to light what often remains hidden before a decision is made.
THREE POSSIBLE PATHS.
Three paths
Role fit - Assessment for appointments and promotions
"We're hesitant about an appointment or promotion."
Taradin tests whether person, role and context truly fit together — before doubt becomes costly, visible or structural.
Core Scan - Analysis of role, context and work level
"Something is going on, but we can't quite pin it down."
First, see what is really at play: in the person, the role, the context, or the system.
Architecture - Organisational and role architecture
"Decisions get stuck because of role, mandate or structure."
Taradin makes visible where decision-making slows down or where key roles work against each other.

HOW WE LOOK
How we look
Our first question is never: "Who is the problem?"
Our first question is: "What are we not seeing yet?"
Because the cause rarely lies with the individual alone. It arises where person, role, context, expectations and decision-making no longer align.
This is rarely visible right away — but it can be made visible. And that is exactly where decision clarity begins.
THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND TARADIN
The philosophy behind Taradin
The vision behind Taradin is also described in the book 'The Owl and the Invisible Compass'. On inner leadership, direction, and the courage to truly choose.
"I love your book. I already know who I'll lend it to. And do you know what I've noticed? It's making me think deeply again. That can't be a bad thing..."
— Margot, Amsterdam
ABOUT MARGARETA PYCKHOUT
About Margareta Pyckhout
Margareta Pyckhout spent 26 years in the financial sector, 18 of them at executive level. Today she helps organisations with complex appointments, promotions and key roles.
During her years as an executive, Margareta repeatedly observed the same pattern: poor decisions rarely resulted from a lack of intelligence or good intentions. Far more often, it turned out afterwards that organisations simply had not seen what had already been present before the decision was made.
From that experience — combined with her further studies in existential psychology, logotherapy and integrative psychotherapy — Taradin was born.
Not as a method for deciding faster. But as a way of seeing differently.
WORK-LEVEL APPROACH
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.
