Methodology

The CareerForge Executive Positioning Framework

A career strategy built around evidence, not templates. Each stage produces a decision, and no document is written until those decisions are made.

01

Discover

A structured examination of the career as it actually is, before any decision is made about how it should be presented.

  • Career history
  • Leadership experience
  • Accomplishments
  • Goals
  • Target roles
  • Professional direction
02

Diagnose

An honest assessment of why the current material is not communicating what it should.

  • Positioning gaps
  • Weak language
  • Missing evidence
  • Inconsistency
  • Narrative problems
  • Differentiation opportunities
03

Research

Positioning is relative. Research establishes what the destination market expects and values.

  • Target roles
  • Industry terminology
  • Leadership expectations
  • Relevant competencies
  • Market positioning
04

Architect

Structure is decided before language. The reader's route through the document is designed deliberately.

  • Career narrative
  • Information hierarchy
  • Executive summary
  • Leadership themes
  • Achievement structure
05

Position

Every entry is translated through a consistent sequence so that each line adds information the reader cannot infer.

  • Responsibility
  • Action
  • Scale
  • Impact
  • Value
06

Refine

Quality assurance across strategy, language and presentation before anything is considered final.

  • Strategic review
  • Keyword review
  • Formatting review
  • Consistency review
  • Proofreading
  • Final quality assurance
