Growth Blueprint Assessment

Building a successful organization requires focus and dedication at all levels. The key to success is based on three primary components: executing a clear strategy, aligning the leadership team, and leveraging an innovation system to bring new ideas to reality systematically.

Answer the following 15 questions using the scale of 1-5 to discover where your organization ranks, calculating your results using the Scoring Guide below.
