Keyseat analysis
Every organization has key positions: roles that are critical for collaboration, leadership, decision-making, and change. When these positions are not properly filled, progress stalls — no matter how strong the strategy is.
The Keyseat analysis maps out which roles are crucial, how they are currently filled, and what is needed to strategically strengthen these positions. This creates clarity, direction, and the key to sustainable success.
Common patterns in key positions
In many organizations, friction arises in areas crucial to success — yet these issues are rarely addressed.- People remain in key roles that no longer fit
- No one openly names what everyone has long seen
- Decisions stall because informal influence outweighs formal structure
- Key players work hard but are not in roles where they add the most value
Without clarity on the filling of key roles, you run strategic risks. The Keyseat analysis helps break this pattern — factually, thoroughly, and transparently.
What is the Keyseat analysis?
The Keyseat analysis is a concise, structured intervention that quickly provides insight into how key roles are currently filled within the organization. In one session, we work together with HR and the responsible managers to map out:- Which positions are essential for success
- How these positions are currently occupied
- Where there are opportunities for development, support, or repositioning
We use a proven questionnaire to reveal underlying dynamics that often remain unnoticed. This approach creates clarity, calm, and a concrete perspective for action.
This analysis is suitable for organizations that want to actively manage their key roles and take the development of involved individuals seriously.
What does it deliver?
The Keyseat analysis provides clear insight into who holds the key roles within your organization — and how well these positions are currently filled. During the process, we also provide targeted feedback and advice based on the Nine Wisdoms, such as how to better activate, support, or position key figures.What you can expect:
- An overview of key roles and their impact
- Insight into who is (or isn’t) in the right position
- Concrete advice on strengthening, developing, or repositioning
This creates a strategic foundation on which your organization can build — supported by key figures who truly make a difference.
What you get
The Keyseat analysis is an intensive session of approximately four hours. Together with the manager and/or HR, we map out in one meeting which key positions exist, who fills them, and what that means for your organization. Everything happens live during the session.The only preparation required: a current organizational chart with roles and names.
During the session:
- We map the key roles together
- We assess whether the right people are in the right positions
- We explore development or repositioning needs
- We translate insights directly into targeted actions
You will leave with clarity, direction, and shared agreements.
