Regan Inkster
Founder of Phive Dynamics and author of Two-Quarter Warning. Regan’s work gives leadership teams a measurable early signal — Organizational Φ — for the thing every dashboard misses: whether the organization can carry the strategy it just approved.
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 — and is practiced from Toronto for clients across Canada, the United States, and globally.
Two-Quarter Warning
Organizations do not fail suddenly. They fragment quietly — and 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 — engagement scores, OKRs, town halls — measure sentiment and activity, not transmission fidelity. 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 slides of platitudes.
