THE VANTAGE10 WAY
Built in the seat, not on a whiteboard.
Every capability in the Vantage10 model exists because its absence broke something in a real company. This is not a framework somebody theorized. It is the pattern underneath the same problem, found in room after room.
THE MISDIAGNOSIS
Most execution problems get blamed on people.
Someone is not performing. Someone is not communicating. Someone needs to step up.
Most of the time that read is wrong. The person is fine. The operating capability underneath them was never built. Nobody defined who decides. Nobody built the rhythm that surfaces problems early. Nobody translated the strategy into something a department head could act on Monday morning.
You can replace people for years and never fix that.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Three things that set the work apart.
Evidence, not opinion
Most operational assessments ask executives to rate themselves, which tells you how leadership sees the company. That is usually the least accurate view available. Vantage10 gathers evidence from interviews, observation, documents, systems, and data, then triangulates it before anything gets scored.
Methodology-agnostic
You do not have to adopt EOS. You do not have to abandon it. Same for OKRs, Scaling Up, or whatever your company built on its own. Vantage10 looks underneath the system you are running and asks whether the operating capabilities are there.
Built to end
Most consulting is incented to continue. Vantage10 is designed to hand the operation back. Building Internal Capability is the final stage of every engagement, planned from the start, not offered as an afterthought.
THE FRAMEWORK
Ten operating capabilities, under four pillars.
FOCUS
Everyone knows what matters most.
Strategic Direction
Priorities
Visibility
ALIGN
Strategy survives contact with the org chart.
Strategic Translation
Cross-Functional Coordination
OWN
Someone owns it and can decide.
Structure & Role Fit
Accountability & Authority
EXECUTE
The rhythm that keeps it moving.
Operating Rhythm
Operating Infrastructure
Issue Resolution
Every organization needs all ten to execute reliably. Most have four or five that are genuinely strong, a few that are assumed but were never built, and one or two that are quietly costing them every quarter. The Diagnostic tells you which is which.

Our business is unrecognizable from the impact Vantage10 has brought across domains: scoping, project management, program management, how projects are staffed, team oversight, cost management, culture, and governance. This is not an oversell. Shawntay is achievement-oriented, gets it right, and operates with integrity and care.
WHO IS BEHIND IT
Shawntay Skjoldager
FOUNDER, VANTAGE10
Vantage10 was built by Shawntay Skjoldager, who has spent her career inside growing organizations, or growing her own, in the seat where the plan either happens or it doesn't. Not as an outside voice pointing at problems, but as the person accountable for the operating rhythm, the scorecards, the role design, and getting to the root cause of issues. She has closed the gap between a good strategy and a team that can actually execute it.
She understands what it costs senior leaders to sit in the middle of every decision, and what it costs the team left waiting on them. That is where Vantage10's ten capabilities come in.
