FIND YOUR STARTING POINT

Not sure what kind of help you need yet?

The TLS Check-In is a business readiness assessment designed to help you understand where your business, project or initiative stands, what may be slowing progress and where to begin.

You know something needs attention, but the real issue, the right priority or the best place to begin may not be obvious.

The TLS Check-In helps you take a clearer look at where things stand before deciding what should happen next.

It takes approximately 5–7 minutes. Once submitted, TLS will review your responses and recommend an appropriate starting point.

The Launch Solution provides cross-functional strategy and implementation support across project management, business operations, digital systems, marketing and live experiences.

Engagements are structured around the work required, allowing TLS to connect strategic direction with the planning, coordination, systems and implementation capacity needed to deliver it.

A QUICKER WAY TO GET ORIENTED

You don't need to diagnose the problem yourself.

What can a business readiness assessment help you understand?

Sometimes the thing that feels like the problem isn’t the thing actually preventing progress.

A project may appear to need better tools when ownership is unclear. A business may seem to need more marketing when the offer or customer journey isn’t ready. A team may have a solid plan but simply lack the capacity to implement it.

The TLS Check-In helps us look at the work more broadly before recommending where you start.

Look at where things stand

Consider the current state of the work, what you’re trying to accomplish and what appears to be getting in the way.

Identify areas that need attention

Look across the conditions that affect execution rather than assuming the solution is a particular service.

Get a recommended starting point

TLS reviews the pattern across your responses and recommends the next step that appears most useful.

THE TLS CHECK-IN

Seven areas that influence whether work moves forward.

The Check-In looks at the conditions surrounding the work rather than assigning one overall readiness score.

01 - Direction

Is the outcome clear?

02 - Plan

Is there a workable path from where you are now to where you want to go?

03 - Ownership

Is it clear who is responsible for decisions and delivery?

04 - Operations & Processes

Are the processes supporting the work clear and effective?

05 - Systems & Digital Infrastructure

Do the tools and systems support what needs to happen?

06 - Capacity

Do the people involved have enough time and capacity to move the work forward?

07 - Momentum

Is the work consistently progressing?

The goal isn’t to score perfectly. It’s to understand the pattern.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Answer based on where things are today.

There are no right or wrong answers, and you don’t need to prepare documents before completing the Check-In.

Choose the responses that most closely reflect your current situation and provide as much context as you comfortably can.

The Check-In is an initial guidance tool. It is not a formal consulting assessment, audit or paid diagnostic engagement.

The TLS Check-In

 

Not sure what kind of support you need?

 

That's okay. You don't need to diagnose the problem before talking to TLS.

The TLS Check-In is a short guided assessment designed to help identify where your work may be getting stuck, what appears to need attention and which starting point may make the most sense.

It takes approximately 5–7 minutes.

Once submitted, TLS will review your responses and recommend an appropriate next step. That may be a conversation, a focused advisory or diagnostic engagement, a larger project, or simply guidance on what to address first.

WHAT MATTERS MOST


YOUR NEXT STEP


WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Your responses give us a place to begin.

01 – You complete the Check-In

Share where the work stands, what feels difficult and what you’re trying to accomplish.

02 – TLS reviews the pattern

We consider your responses across direction, planning, ownership, operations, systems, capacity and momentum.

03 – We recommend a starting point

You’ll receive a response from TLS within two business days with our recommended next step.

That recommendation does not automatically mean purchasing a diagnostic.

Depending on what we see, we may recommend a conversation, a focused advisory or diagnostic engagement, strategy and implementation planning, a defined project, ongoing implementation support, or something to address before engaging TLS.

Already know what you're trying to move forward?

You don’t need to complete the Check-In first. If you already have a specific project, initiative, challenge or opportunity in mind, tell us about it directly.

TLS will review your inquiry and recommend the most appropriate next step.
