Is Your Organization Truly Alive? — Assessment

This 5-minute assessment measures the vitality of your organization across 6 dimensions.

Most leaders who take it come with a visible problem — a revenue plateau, a team that's losing energy, a transformation that isn't landing. What they discover is that the visible problem is rarely the real one.

Answer each question as honestly as possible — not as you wish things were, but as they truly are today.

There are no right or wrong answers. Only clarity.

PURPOSE - The Why

Our purpose is articulated in words that genuinely resonate — not a slogan, but a compass people can actually use.

When we face difficult trade-offs, we return to our purpose to guide the decision — not just to our financials or short-term pressures.

People across all levels of our organization feel the purpose in their daily work — they don't just know it, they live it.

PEOPLE — The Nervous System

Weak signals from the field — concerns, ideas, early warnings — reliably reach leadership before they become crises.

Our people act with confidence and initiative within their scope — they don't wait for permission to respond to what they see.

People bring their full intelligence and creativity to work — not just their task compliance.

PROCESSES — The Metabolism

When circumstances change, our processes adapt fluidly — we don't stay rigidly attached to "how we've always done it."

Cross-functional work happens naturally and efficiently — without bureaucratic friction or territorial behavior.

When something fails, we extract the learning and integrate it — failure makes us stronger, not more cautious.

CULTURE — The Emotional Field

People speak truth here — they can voice concerns, challenge decisions, and admit mistakes without fear of consequence.

The energy in our organization feels alive and forward-moving — not heavy, resigned, or simply going through the motions.

We have a clear and shared sense of who we are — beyond the org chart, the strategy deck, or the brand guidelines.

GOVERNANCE — The Skeleton

Decision rights are clear at every level — people know what they can decide, and what needs escalation.

Authority is appropriately decentralized — decisions are made where the knowledge lives, not bottlenecked at the top.

Our governance structures evolve as we grow and change — they serve the organization, not the other way around.

ENERGY FLOWS — The Circulation

Knowledge, insight, and data circulate freely across the organization — they don't pool at the top or get trapped in silos.

Budget, attention, and talent consistently reach the places where they create the most value.

We protect space for experimentation, reflection, and emergence — we don't run our organization at 100% capacity all the time.
