Taking the Strategic Health Assessment

The Strategic Health Assessment is a free, 10-minute evaluation that measures your organization's strategic maturity across the four phases of the Strategic Learning framework. It helps you identify strengths, blind spots, and areas for improvement — even before you start a formal planning process.

Who Should Take It?

The assessment is designed for:

• Business leaders considering a strategic planning initiative
• Teams wanting a baseline measurement of strategic health
• Consultants evaluating a client's strategic maturity
• Anyone curious about where their organization stands strategically

No account is required to take the assessment. It is available publicly.

How It Works

1. Navigate to the Strategic Health Check page (linked from the landing page and resource library)
2. Enter basic information about your organization (industry, company size, your role)
3. Answer a series of multiple-choice questions covering:
   • LEARN — How well do you understand your environment, industry, customers, and competitors?
   • FOCUS — How clear are your strategic choices?
   • ALIGN — How well is your organization aligned to execute?
   • EXECUTE — How effectively do you implement and adapt?
4. A progress bar shows how far you are through the assessment
5. Click Complete Assessment when finished

Understanding Your Results

After completing the assessment, you receive an AI-powered analysis including:

• Overall Strategic Health Score — A composite score (0-100)
• Phase-by-Phase Scores — How you scored in each of the four phases
• Key Strengths — What your organization does well strategically
• Blind Spots — Areas you may not be addressing
• Recommendations — Specific actions to improve strategic health
• Recommended Starting Phase — Where your planning efforts would have the most impact

What to Do With Your Results

High Scores (70+)

Your organization has strong strategic foundations. Focus on the specific areas where you scored lower to move from good to great.

Mid Scores (40-69)

Solid in some areas but with significant gaps. Consider starting a formal strategic planning process using The Living Company, focusing first on your weakest phase.

Low Scores (Below 40)

Your organization would benefit significantly from a structured strategic planning approach. Start with the LEARN phase to build a foundation of understanding.
