Executive summary

A diagnostic for the quarterly strategy reset. It replaces opinion-led status reviews with independent, anchored scoring and explicit decision rules. Each priority gets a defensible decision to continue, pivot, stop or hold, and the gaps the assessment uncovers become owned actions.

What is inside

What this diagnostic covers

A six-dimension scoring rubric with anchors and decision rules, and an evidence hierarchy that covers missing data. A gap register for capability gaps, constraints and dependencies, a calibration routine for raters, and a resource ledger that keeps cash separate from capacity. Execution, governance and KPI tables, a worked synthetic case with a failure case and a practice exercise, and copyable working tools.

How to use it

How to use this diagnostic

Before the first cycle, check whether the organization is ready for an evidence-based reset, and get the sponsor's commitment to act on stop decisions. Calibrate raters on a shared case. Owners then assemble graded evidence packs, and independent raters score each priority. Apply the decision rules and take the proposed decisions to the reset forum for approval. Publish the decisions, gap actions and resource releases into your execution system, and track the KPIs through the quarter.
