Regan Inkster
Founder of Phive Dynamics and author of Two-Quarter Warning. Regan’s work gives leadership teams a measurable early signal for the thing every dashboard misses: whether the organization can carry the strategy it just approved. The signal is how well intent, reality, and action stay connected, from the boardroom to the frontline. Regan calls it coherence. Organizational Φ is coherence, scored.
Regan spent two decades in organizational strategy, operating-model design, and large-program execution across consumer, technology, financial services, and industrial sectors. The coherence work draws on an unusual lineage: integrated information theory from neuroscience, applied to enterprise measurement. Regan works from Toronto, with clients across Canada, the United States, and globally.
Two-Quarter Warning
Organizations do not fail suddenly. They fragment quietly. Financial performance follows roughly two quarters later. The book introduces Organizational Φ as a measurable leading indicator: how to read coherence, how to strengthen it, and how to act on the signal before the metrics catch up.
The instruments leaders rely on today measure sentiment and activity: engagement scores, OKRs, town halls. None measure whether strategy survives the trip from boardroom to frontline. This is the instrument that was missing.
Talks for boards, offsites, and decision rooms.
Keynotes and working sessions, each grounded in the Φ research and delivered with live data, not canned slides.
