What is the Operating Model Fitness Index?

A five-minute, thirteen-question diagnostic that scores an organisation's operating model against the conditions it now has to work in, including the change AI is forcing. It produces a structural reading the person who leads the organisation and the person who governs or funds it can act on together, across the three phases of Raze, Enrich, and Grow.

Who is the diagnostic for?

Leaders navigating AI-driven change and the people who govern or fund them, in any sector. It is for any organisation whose operating model was designed for conditions that have since moved. It is built for the leadership conversation, not the consulting deliverable.

How long does the diagnostic take?

Five minutes. Thirteen questions. The scored structural diagnosis is produced immediately on screen and as a downloadable PDF, and can be forwarded to the second reader in one click, framed for that seat.

What do the two readers receive when they finish?

A scored structural diagnosis: external shock exposure, internal structural fitness, quadrant placement, weakest phase across the Raze, Enrich, and Grow arc, and the dominant pattern across the operating model. Both readers see the same diagnosis for the first time.

How is this different from a strategy review?

A strategy review is run inside the assumptions of the existing operating model. The Operating Model Fitness Index scores the model itself against the conditions it now has to operate in. Most strategy reviews fail because they address the wrong layer; this instrument names that layer.

What happens after we submit our answers?

The results page produces the diagnosis on screen and as a downloadable PDF. The leader can forward the structural reading to the person who governs or funds the organisation in one click. There is no obligation to proceed; the decision is whether to commission the redesign.
