Assessment Tool



Does this apply to your organization?

  • Does your organization need help to execute its current strategy or initiatives?
    • Examples: M&A, sale, succession planning, new market entry, or raising capital.
  • Can the company benefit from positive resources and associations? 
  • Has the company plateaued or is in a rut?
  • Does your Board spend more time on problems or standard activities than strategy, risk review or continuous improvement?
  • Is your Board strength siloed? Are there potential gaps?
  • Does your organization focus on a few top of mind initiatives and leave smaller initiatives unmanaged adding to vulnerabilities or missed opportunity?
  • Is the Board and management aware of growth opportunities that do not have the time, knowledge or resources to action?
  • Does your Board or executive have homogenous thought?
