About Xodiac

Turning challenges into
growth.

Founded in 2018 to bridge the gap between strategy and execution.

The 2018 Catalyst

"Why does this matter to us?"

That question from a frustrated client changed everything. Data showed where they were, but not how to move forward.

We built a maturity model to reveal how change impacts teams, culture, and success. Today, we pair 60+ years of experience with this model to help businesses navigate and thrive on change.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Xodiac helps leadership teams improve the system behind technology delivery: how priorities are set, how work flows from idea to outcome, and how decisions and governance keep it on track. The result is clearer direction, healthier execution and governance you can actually steer.

We work with leadership teams at technology-driven organizations — CXOs, VPs and Directors responsible for technology delivery — as well as the teams, coaches and managers who carry that delivery out.

Xodiac was founded in 2018 to bridge the gap between strategy and execution. We are headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and work with organizations both in person and online.

We fix the system before adding tools or process. Our five-step method makes leadership reality and the actual flow of work visible first, then redesigns delivery, puts practical governance and measures in place, and builds the capability to sustain it.

Agora is our leadership-alignment diagnostic. Leaders answer individually and anonymously, so the signal isn't distorted by hierarchy, and the team receives one aggregate view of where priorities and assumptions are breaking apart — a safe, evidence-based starting point.

Yes. As an OKR Institute Gold Partner, we deliver OKR Practitioner Training & Certification, alongside workshops, a coaches development program, and leadership and team coaching.
