Welcome to the assessment!
To thrive in today’s increasingly turbulent environments, organizations need intelligent sensory systems – integrated sets of tools, processes, and cultural practices that allow for real-time detection and interpretation of environmental changes.
Instructions
Use this assessment to diagnose strengths and identify areas for improvement across the four critical pillars of organizational sensing:
1. Strategic sensors
2. Data integration
3. Analytical intelligence
4. Sensing culture
Rate your current capabilities on a scale of 1 (basic) to 5 (advanced) by moving the pointer along the slider bar. Please give a rating for each question in order to get a valid overall rating.
Scoring
To determine your organization’s sensory system maturity, the total score across all four pillars will be calculated (maximum score: 80).
1. Strategic sensors: To what extent do you.......
... effectively monitor external factors such as market dynamics, customer behavior, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes?
... detect and respond rapidly to shifts in the regulatory or competitive landscape?
... provide clear insights into operational efficiency, cultural health, and resource utilization?
... regularly review and adapt sensing mechanisms to align with evolving strategic priorities?
2. Data Integration: To what extent do you...
... ensure seamless integration and smooth information exchange across the organization?
... maintain consistent and standardized definitions for key business metrics across teams?
... balance data accessibility for decision-makers with strong security and governance protocols?
... support real-time monitoring and decision-making through your data infrastructure?
3. Analytical intelligence: To what extent do you...
... develop analytics capabilities that progress from descriptive to predictive and prescriptive insights?
...quickly translate insights from analytics into actionable strategies?
...ensure your analytical models remain validated, updated, and aligned with strategic goals?
... leverage AI, machine learning, or advanced modeling to anticipate trends and optimize decisions?
4. Sensing culture: To what extent do you...
... ensure that employees across all levels are empowered to contribute insights and observations?
... effectively balance data-driven decision-making with human intuition and experience?
... foster a culture that values experimentation, rapid iteration, and learning from failures?
... ensure that senior leaders actively support and model behaviors that reinforce a strong sensing culture?
