The first step in our process is
The Candor Growth Assessment.
This process will uncover your:
Directional Alignment
Growth Readiness &
Functional Maturity
Gain a clear picture of where your organization is right now and a model describing the transformation needed to realize organizational objectives.
Our proprietary methodology allows us to deliver deep insights in days versus months.
Directional Alignment
First, we categorize each individual's perspective (not personality) into a business type representing what each team member believes to be true about the business. This helps identify areas of alignment or misalignment, to inform helpful discussions around a shared vision.
We then consider how your business approaches these four core competencies:
Strategy | Your position in the market
Implementation | Your approach to problem solving
Resource Allocation | Your decisions about where, when, and how much to prioritize
People | Your definition of a quality employee, before and after hiring
Growth Readiness
Next, we evaluate your organizations ability to sustain positive change based on team members’ perspectives at all levels.
Our process exposes mindsets, tendencies, and abilities that both support and hinder progress so leaders can design highly targeted change initiatives informed by current culture, not eaten by it.
We measure 5 aspects of growth readiness:
Collaboration | including more diverse perspectives in decision-making
Horizon | seeing current circumstances in a broader context
Integration | turning ideas into concrete actions
Reliability | creating consistency and discipline
Proactivity | anticipating and taking action upon challenges before they arrive
Functional Maturity
Finally we determine the degree to which your business has a clear understanding of itself and is continuously striving to improve.
An organization must gain momentum as it grows, building the skills and processes required to sustain a high level of energy over a long period, regardless of the challenges it faces.
We create a customized plan to sustain growth in these four essential categories:
Strategy | Values, Identity, Planning, Research, Customers, Value Prop
Implementation | Systems, KPI, Brand, Message, Marketing, Lead Gen, Sales
Resource Allocation | Budgeting, Forecasting, Funding Strategy, Business Value, Reporting
People | Team, Succession Planning, Evaluation, Engagement, People Ops
