Mostly A’s

You’re stuck and skeptical.

On paper, everything should work perfectly, but when it comes to execution, it doesn’t. Most projects get stuck at the local level and it’s hard to gain momentum again.  

Mostly B’s

You’re aligned but constrained.

Teamwork makes the dream work, but in your case your team can only do so much. You know what needs to get done and how it should get done but don’t have the bandwidth for more work.

Mostly C’s

You’re struggling to keep up.

Everything is happening too fast, and you find yourself chasing to catch up. Innovation is key to keeping your company relevant and competitive but you’re always a step behind everyone else.

Mostly D’s

You’re in search of focus.

It’s all hands on deck but there is no direction. Because of the lack of connection, your team is spinning its wheels and not going very far.
