3 Big Problems

Solve
hard problems

Businesses typically have 20 problems, but from experience, three major problems account for 50% of the lost potential.

I quantify your 20 priorities, isolate the top 3 by impact, and fix them in 4-6 week sprints.

Is it the right fit?

For

Leaders and entrepreneurs who want measurable outcomes in weeks, not quarters.

Companies ready to ship, not “socialize”.

Teams drowning in priorities and starved for focus.

Not for

Teams unwilling to assign owners or metrics.

Projects seeking staff augmentation by headcount.

“Strategy theater” (big decks, low lift).

It’s “why didn’t we do this sooner?” better

3 Big Problems (3BP) replaces the lack of direction and chaos with a flat monthly, sprint-based model, board-level decisions and outcomes in weeks, not quarters.

Strategy board

Easily manage your problem queue and sprint backlog in a shared workspace (Notion/Linear/Trello).

Flat monthly rate

No surprises. One transparent price, no timesheets, no “extra hours”.

Fast outcomes

One big problem at a time. Decisions, owners, and shipped artifacts in 2–4 weeks on average.

Board-level quality

Senior strategy lead with briefs, ROI models, and one-page playbooks ready for your board.

Flexible & scalable

Scale up or pause between sprints. Switch themes as priorities change.

Yours to keep

All deliverables - models, analysis, frameworks - are 100% yours.

About Sorin Anagnoste

Finance guy by heart, practitioner by design. Fifteen years in the arena. Less theater, more shipping. I fix the few constraints that move the system, leave behind tools your team will actually use, and teach you how to keep going without me.

My operating thesis is power-law simple: you’ve got twenty problems, three drive the curve. I find those three, run sprints, and ship results.

By day, I teach strategy, online business models, and tech entrepreneurship at FABIZ-ASE and Bucharest Business School. The job title is Associate Professor and Vice-Dean; the real work is making strategy legible enough that people stop avoiding it. By night, I read.

I publish what I practice. Bonus: I coordinate eight PhDs and my research is getting better and better, like the wine – see Google Scholar.

Off campus, I advise boards and train leadership teams. Talks, workshops, decision memos. 4.3M+ views on LinkedIn and +5,000 subscribers to OnStrategy, because people like me choose focus, then act.

Frequently asked questions

How fast will we see results?

Your 3BP Diagnostic is delivered in 10 days since data and key information is provided (e.g. discussion, interviews with key people, etc). Each focused sprint ships outcomes in 4–6 weeks with weekly check-ins and visible results.

Subscribe, book a 15-min triage, and we set up your strategy board (Notion/Linear/Trello), data checklist, and stakeholder interviews. You’re live within 24 hours of kickoff.

You work directly with Sorin Anagnoste. Select specialists may join a sprint when needed (pricing, analytics, legal review), but no unseen outsourcing.

Advise only. Execution is for you and your team to deliver it. You need independence from consulting at some point, not dependency.

Great, then the system works. We re-score, re-prioritize, and pivot the next sprint. Reality beats plans.

Billing is monthly. Cancel anytime; the services are provided until the end of the paid period.

We break big programs into sequenced sprints (e.g., Pricing → GTM → Ops).

Your 3BP Map which is 90-day roadmap.

Strategy board in Notion/Linear/Trello. Docs in Google Workspace. Diagrams in Figma/Miro. I adapt to your stack when helpful.

Tax/legal opinions, heavy ERP/IT implementation, full-time staffing, recruiting, or fundraising on your behalf. I provide advices.

If the diagnostic isn’t valuable, I refund 100%. For sprints, we re-scope or credit unused time; no refunds on completed work.

Yes. Many clients begin with the diagnostic plus one sprint, then pause. Come back anytime. Your board and assets remain.

Only when needed.

How do you measure impact?

Each sprint defines target metrics (revenue, margin, cycle time, CAC/LTV, NPS, etc.). We track weekly and deliver a before/after summary.

Strong fit with tech, energy, services, and mid-market operators. The method is industry-agnostic; the sprints are tailored to your context.

Happy to sign your NDA. I access only the minimum data required and use secure links and shared drives.

EU hours. English and Romanian. Remote-first, with optional on-site workshops on request.

Transparent subscription, sprint cadence, and problem solving advices. Fewer meetings, faster cycles, clearer ownership and no surprise hours.
