Executive summary

A diagnostic that scores whether the organization can actually execute a response to a confirmed competitor move, before leadership commits to one.

What is inside

What the assessment covers

The asset takes the confirmed competitor move and evidence baseline and walks an assessment team through eight response capabilities, graded evidence, calibrated anchor-based scoring, a gap register with owners and time to close, a decision-speed test and a readiness gate whose output feeds the response business case.

  • Scope: the eight capabilities that determine whether a competitive response can be executed
  • Evidence requirements: competitor disclosures, win-loss records and customer feedback, each graded
  • A calibrated scoring session with behavioral anchors instead of self-ratings
  • A gap register separating blocking gaps from degrading gaps, each with an owner and a close date
  • A decision-speed test using the organization's last three real response decisions
  • A readiness gate and statement that feeds the response business case
  • A worked synthetic example, a failure case and practice exercises
