Platforms for elevating performance on your terms
Most insight is delivered on someone else’s calendar, whether it’s recommendations that land after the decision has already been made or a development program with a rigid schedule. These platforms cater to your calendar instead.
You subscribe once and use them when you have the cycles, to work through a decision that can’t wait or to build capability over time, whether it’s your own or your team’s capability. Each stands on its own, so start with whichever fits the work in front of you.
Short courses in leadership, strategy and technology
Targeting Excellence develops real capability in leadership, strategy and technology, the three variables that most determine performance in the modern landscape. It serves emerging leaders, and anyone who wants their foundation in each to hold under today’s conditions.

Decisions that matter now
Built on Tom’s expertise and experience, Decision Index helps board members, executives and founders work through the decisions most critical to elevating performance in the modern environment. AI tools carry the heavy analysis. Tom’s judgment is the layer on top, turning that analysis into a recommendation rather than a survey of the options.

Behind the platforms
Tom Mawhinney has sat in all three seats: executive, board member and founder. Those are usually three separate careers. His work rests on one argument. Leadership, strategy and technology are the variables that most determine elevated performance in today’s landscape, and meaningful gains come from depth in each and synchronization across all three.
That argument runs through his books, beginning with A Distinct Advantage, and through his advisory work with boards and senior teams. The two platforms let leaders put that thinking to work on their own schedule. Targeting Excellence builds depth in each of the three variables, and Decision Index brings the same lens to the critical decisions senior leaders face right now.
