Forward Strategies · A 90-Second Diagnostic

The 5
Policy
Fires

How many are already burning inside your organization?

When a senior policy or GR seat sits empty, the cost never shows up as a line item. It shows up as five specific fires, and they spark whether or not anyone is watching. Score each one honestly. You will get a number, and a short paragraph you can send straight to leadership.

Five questions. No email needed to see your score.

Your board-ready summary

Drafted from your answers. Paste it into an email to your GC, CFO, or CEO so the team stops calling this a logistics problem and starts calling it risk.

You have the diagnosis

The fires are named. Now you need the system that puts them out.

The Policy Continuity Framework is the productized continuity infrastructure that keeps a lean team producing board-credible work through a vacancy, without a panic hire or a runaway agency retainer. It is the same system built by the operator who ran public affairs at enterprise scale.
