The PAVS™ Framework
The PAVS™ framework is designed to support your business and leadership teams in achieving growth, stability, or recovery. The framework has been developed in consultation with experienced C-suite executives focusing on four essential components of successful businesses. This structured approach ensures all critical areas of the business are addressed for long-term success.
The process consists of three key stages:
1. Qualification Meeting
This initial session determines whether Pop-Up CEO can provide the support, skills, and experience that you and your leadership team need to pave the way for your business over the next 90 days. Through a series of strategic questions, business challenges and goals are assessed to determine if your organisation and Pop-Up CEO are a good fit. The meeting, typically 60–90 minutes long, is free of charge and conducted online.
2. Triple A (Access All Areas)
In this stage, Pop-Up CEO reviews the four essential components of your business that drive success.
People and Culture, Accountability and Performance, Vision and Strategy, Systems and Policies
This stage is all confidential and allows Pop-Up CEO access to examine these areas of your business. It may be done through face-to-face meetings, employee surveys or off-site review of documentation to identify actions to undertake to improve your business.
3. 84-Day Cycle
We then meet with you and your leadership team to review and prioritise the actions for improvement identified in the Triple A stage to implement over the next 84 days. Typically this is three to seven key actions for improvement (we call these the PAVERS). We help you generate tailored strategies, drive measurable improvements, and establish sustainable growth. The 84-day cycle involved regular weekly and monthly meetings to ensure accountability, progress tracking, and continuous optimisation for implementing the identified PAVERS..
