Your biggest problem right now is bridging the gap between your carefully created strategy and your team’s actual performance.
And it’s that problem that Q2E was developed to solve.
It all began with our founder, Mahesh Rao, and his passion for unlocking human potential in the business world. Throughout his career working with senior executives at renowned companies such as Cisco, Intel, Mitsubishi, Lockheed Martin, Kaiser Permanente, United Health Care, and Optum, Mahesh noticed a recurring pattern:
Issues with people engagement and accountability are the root cause of many organizational challenges.
Mahesh observed that companies with high levels of engagement and accountability consistently outperformed their peers in areas such as strategy execution, innovation, and financial performance. These observations led Mahesh to develop Q2E, a platform specifically designed to boost engagement and accountability across organizations.
Recognizing this critical need, he conceived the idea for Q2E, a solution designed to help companies implement their strategies effectively.
What sets Q2E apart is not just our technology, but the depth of understanding and experience that informs every aspect of our platform. Mahesh’s extensive background in leading teams, coupled with his insights from working with Fortune 500 companies, has been instrumental in shaping Q2E’s approach to engagement and accountability.
Our solution isn’t based on theoretical models or generic best practices. It’s built on real-world experience and a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by large, complex organizations.
At Q2E, we believe that the gap between strategy and execution is where most businesses stumble.

Collaborative Leadership by George O'Meara
Lessons from the Street to the Boardroom
Businesses everywhere are facing a myriad of challenges, from shrinking margins to increasing regulation to rapidly evolving technologies. Information is more accessible, products are more commoditized, and competitors are less distinctive. Doing business is getting more and more complex. Some say these are unprecedented times, and while we agree that times are tough, we think the biggest challenge businesses face today is a leadership gap.
The purpose of “Collaborative Leadership” is to call that leadership gap to attention, show how it may have formed, make clear the gravity of its implications, and provide a means to bridge the gap. The ultimate goal of this book is to show leaders how to bridge the leadership gap through collaborative leadership transformation. This book is about more than creating transformation through leadership. It’s about creating transformation through collaboration.
