How to Use This Assessment

Rate each statement honestly based on how your organization actually operates today — not how you want it to operate, or how it operated at its best. There are no right or wrong answers. The value is in the accuracy.

If you lead a team, complete this on your own first. Then consider having your leadership team complete it independently. Misalignment in scores often reveals the real issue.

1 Not in place / consistently broken
2 Inconsistent / reactive
3 Partially defined / unreliable
4 Mostly consistent / working
5 Fully defined, consistent, and scalable

Overall Operational Health Score

Your Scores by Dimension

Each dimension is scored out of 25. Your lowest score is your highest-leverage starting point — that is where your system is breaking and where focused effort will generate the most traction.

What Your Scores Are Telling You

Where to Start
