Aside from just checking off completed Rocks at the end of each quarter, how do we quantitatively and qualitatively measure the actual progress of our organizational health and execution maturity during our engagement?

We do not just rely on gut feelings to determine if our engagement is working. We track both quantitative and qualitative metrics to measure your operational maturity.

First, we utilize the Organizational Checkup, which is a twenty point diagnostic tool that measures your strength in the Six Keys of your business. We run this assessment periodically to track your progress toward achieving one hundred percent strength in each area.

Second, we look at the velocity and quality of your problem solving. Early in our engagement, your team will struggle to identify the real issues, often treating symptoms instead of root causes. As we progress, we measure how quickly and permanently you solve issues during the IDS portion of your Level 10 Meeting. When you stop discussing the same issues week after week, your execution maturity is rising.

Third, we track your Rock completion rate. A healthy, disciplined leadership team should consistently achieve an eighty percent or higher completion rate on their quarterly Rocks.

Finally, we measure your team alignment. When your executive team can state your core values, your target market, and your three year picture with absolute unity, you have achieved true alignment. By measuring these elements, we ensure you are building a highly focused organization that is fully prepared for an ultimate exit.
