The new COO problem
You inherited a company in motion.
Nobody handed you the map.
Commitments were made before you arrived. Priorities live in people’s heads, not in any system. Your first 90 days should be about leading, not reconstructing the past.
68%
of new COOs say their biggest challenge is understanding existing commitments and priorities.
The organisation kept moving while you were being hired. Nobody paused to document what was promised.
Harvard Business Review executive transition research
First 90 days
The critical window where a new COO must establish visibility without slowing the organisation down. Every week spent building spreadsheets is a week not spent leading.
Inherited commitments
Promises made before you arrived that nobody documented. They surface as surprises, usually at the worst possible moment.
Shadow priorities
The real priorities that live in people’s heads, not in any tracker. You can’t lead what you can’t see, and nobody thinks to tell you what “everyone knows.”
How In Parallel helps
From Day 1 confusion to clarity in weeks.
01
Automatic decision capture from Day 1
In Parallel joins every meeting you attend, captures decisions, owners, and deadlines from your first week. No manual notes, no asking people to repeat themselves.
02
Inherited commitment discovery
Join team meetings and In Parallel surfaces the commitments already in flight, who promised what, when, and to whom. The backlog of decisions made before you arrived, finally visible.
03
Drift detection across all teams
Know when teams diverge from what was agreed before it becomes a crisis. In Parallel surfaces the gap between decisions and actions automatically, even for commitments you inherited.
04
Executive dashboard within a week
Stop spending your first quarter building a tracker. In Parallel assembles a living execution picture from meeting signals, giving you the visibility you need in days, not months.
Trusted by new leaders
A new COO got full visibility in a week, not a quarter.
“I joined three team meetings in my first week. By Friday, I had a clearer picture of our commitments than my predecessor had after a year, because In Parallel captured everything.”
