How connected is your operation?

Answer twelve questions to see where manual work, scattered tools, concentrated knowledge, or constant owner involvement may be slowing your business down. You’ll get a directional view of where to focus first.

A practical view of how your business operates.

This assessment looks at how systems, workflows, ownership, governance, and automation support day-to-day work. It focuses on the operating side of your business, not the full Strategy + Vision or Design + Experience practices.

Your result is a starting point, not a scorecard. It isn’t an audit, benchmark, or substitute for understanding your business in context.

What the assessment considers

Integration

This looks at whether the right information moves between systems and reaches the people who need it, or whether your team has to copy, re-enter, and reconcile it by hand.

Enablement and ownership

This looks at whether important work is understood, documented, delegated, and maintained, and whether people know what they own or still depend on a few individuals to hold the process together.

Architecture

This looks at whether your tools and workflows can support the business as its needs change, or whether added complexity creates more workarounds, manual steps, and fragile connections.

Governance

This looks at whether decisions, responsibilities, evidence, and escalation paths are clear, or whether work slows down because people aren’t sure who decides or what happens next.
