🪧 Why This Matters
You know where you’re heading. This step shows what you can reliably do today. It surfaces strengths, weak spots, and single points of failure so you’re not planning the future on guesswork.
🧾 Mini Glossary
- Capability. A repeatable ability. The what and why. Not the person or tool.
- Strength (0–5). 1 = ad hoc. 2 = basic. 3 = consistent. 4 = reliable. 5 = strong + improving.
- R/A/G. Red = can’t cope. Amber = copes but fragile. Green = resilient.
- Lead measure. Early action you can influence now.
- Result measure. Confirms value after the fact.
🎬 Strategic Reflection Prompts
Take a quick pause before you jump into templates. These prompts help connect today’s reality to purpose.
- What core abilities do we rely on to deliver our work?
- How are decisions made today? How fast do they move when things shift?
- What info do decision-makers get, and how accurate or timely is it?
- Where do bottlenecks, rework, or quality issues show up?
- Which roles, tools, or suppliers are single points of failure?
- What continuity practices exist, and when were they last tested?
- Which partners extend our capability, and where do they create dependency?
