THE ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK

9 Levels of Exponential Growth

The CEO Operating System evaluates the nine layers required to align purpose, culture and execution. Culture sits in the middle as the multiplier that turns clarity into results.

CLARITY • LAYERS 1 TO 4 CULTURE • LAYER 5 • MULTIPLIER EXECUTION • LAYERS 6 TO 9
LAYER 1
Purpose

How clearly your people can articulate why your company exists, your values, and what you give back.

LAYER 2
Business Outcomes

How clearly the outcomes you must achieve in the next 12 to 24 months are defined and communicated.

LAYER 3
Key Results

How clearly your three sacred numbers are defined, where failure is not an option and everyone can recite them.

LAYER 4
Strategic Bets

How focused your strategic priorities are, three to five bets that grow revenue or profit, not scattered initiatives.

LAYER 5
Culture Beliefs

Whether your people hold the shared beliefs that your strategy requires to execute and create exponential results.

LAYER 6
Department Ownership

Whether single owners are accountable for every priority, and whether departments are built on the four leverage areas.

LAYER 7
Funded Initiatives

Whether each strategic bet has two to four funded initiatives with budget, timeline, owner and measurable outcome.

LAYER 8
Challenges & Constraints

How well you have named the internal and external forces that could break the plan, and built mitigation into the work.

LAYER 9
Rhythm & Accountability

Whether you have a locked-in cadence of daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly inspection to hold the plan together.
