Strategic Maturity Assessment
Rate each statement as it applies to your organization today. Be direct. There are no correct answers.
Calibration
Shared Logic and Language Alignment
1. Our leadership team identifies and addresses "the elephant in the room" (failing projects, cultural drift, market threats) directly and without defensiveness.
2. If I asked each leadership team member to define our #1 priority and the metrics for its success, the answers would be 90% identical in both substance and terminology.
3. Every member of the leadership team can explain the underlying "if-then" logic of our strategy without relying on founder intuition or historical assumptions.
Clarity
Problem Validation and Resource Velocity
4. We have explicitly identified three specific high-value opportunities that we have decided not to pursue this year to protect our focus and resource velocity.
5. Our core problem statement has been validated through market data, and we have explicitly defined "What Would Have To Be True" (WWHTBT) for our current strategy to succeed.
6. Our top strategic priorities receive a disproportionate amount of our best talent and capital budget compared to "business as usual".
Confidence
Strategic Evidence and Board-Ready Alignment
7. Once a strategic decision is made, "parking lot litigation" (leaders complaining about or undermining the decision in private) is non-existent.
8. We lean into healthy, "fierce conversations" and pressure-test evidence to reach a decision rather than settling for a "polite consensus".
9. Our strategy is packaged as a "Board-Ready" operating plan that the entire leadership team views as "Our Collective Discipline" rather than "The CEO's Plan".
Control
Operational Cadence and System Design
10. Strategy is a standing item in our weekly operational meetings and is backed by a designed system that allows for continuous validation.
11. We can shift our tactical resources to meet a sudden market disruption or leadership transition in days or weeks, not months.
12. Our leadership team is trained on a visible, non-punitive system for tracking strategic progress that maintains an operational command of the firm.
