FOR FOUNDERS & CEOsBusy teams.
Underwhelming results.
Let’s fix that before it gets expensive.
At a certain stage, product friction stops being annoying – and starts costing you real money.
Roadmaps grow. Teams are busy. Costs keep climbing.
The results? Unclear.
You’re investing heavily in product – without a clear return.
You can feel something’s off in your product team.
You just haven’t been able to name it yet.
The problem is that by the time it’s obvious, it’s already costing you.
This pattern has a name:
Expensive Motion
It shows up as:
Teams shipping without clear commercial impact
Roadmaps that feel busy, but lack conviction
Product and engineering pulling in different directions
Leadership making calls without clear data or alignment
Everyone is ‘busy’ but results are hard to point to
This isn’t just inefficient.
It’s expensive – in missed revenue, slower growth, and wasted spend on product and team.
AI is accelerating this problem. Not solving it.
That’s where I come in
Bec Badcock
Fractional Chief Product Officer
I work with founders and CEOs when product execution starts drifting from business outcomes.
Not to add more process.
Not to slow things down.
But to bring clarity, alignment, and focus – so your team is working on what moves the business.
Stop shipping activity. Start delivering outcomes.
What this looks like in practice
I embed in your team for a focused 3–6 month engagement, typically 2–3 days per week.
We start with a structured reset:
Identify what’s not driving results
Cut noise and competing priorities
Align your team around a focused roadmap
Define clear success measures
Then I stay embedded to help ensure execution follows through, so you don’t slip back into activity without outcomes. Once it’s a habit, you don’t need me anymore.
How I fix it
Most teams don’t have a delivery problem.
They have an expensive motion problem.
This is how we fix it.
1 – Orient
Define what winning actually looks like in your market
2 – Diagnose
Where effort isn’t translating into outcomes – and why
3 – Align
Create a shared definition of success – with clear ownership
4 – Execute
Build roadmaps teams believe in – and deliver with confidence
5 – Measure
Turn clarity into momentum and
results
What changes when we work together
Within weeks, you’ll see:
Your team aligned on what matters commercially
Less “busy work”, more meaningful progress
A roadmap tied to business outcomes, not opinions
Clear visibility on what’s working (and what’s not)
Teams stop second-guessing and start owning outcomes with conviction
Fix your
Expensive Motion
Problem
Most teams don’t fail because they lack effort.
They fail because they stay on the wrong path for too long, while costs compound.
