strategy health check
1) We do have ambitions, but in reality not much is happening.
​
2) Although I put in a lot of effort and time, I don’t always feel it's really making a difference.
​
3) We usually deal with issues as they arise; we don’t plan ahead much to avoid them.
​
4) Everyone tries to reach their own goals; sometimes I wonder if we all work for the same organisation.
​
5) We have a vision and a strategic direction, but not everyone knows what it is or what it means for them.
​
6) We’re afraid making choices, so we end up doing many things.​

3) I am able to take advantage of market opportunities; I integrate them easily into my business plan.
4) I am able to anticipate changes in the market/industry and act accordingly.
5) I am keeping track of how my organisation is progressing and adjust my strategy and actions monthly or quarterly, based on performance metrics.
6) My business clearly differentiates from competitors, and this differentiation is sustainable.
GROW & MATURE

1) Resource allocation including time and budget has been taken care of; I am only involved on a quarterly base with this topic.
2) My team is engaged and motivated to work towards a shared strategic objective.
3) I have a great team; people know what they need to do, and this has freed me up to focus on other things.
4) These days, I am only involved on a visionary level. The execution of ideas is taken care of by my team.
