You are the operating system
Does the enterprise run the strategy it publishes?
This diagnostic reads the enterprise from the executive seat: where executive attention actually goes, who holds decision rights, who owns outcomes that cross functions, where capital and talent went, and whether operating behavior matches stated strategy. It is built for what you can observe and change directly, not for questions that belong to a board or a team.
Practice foundations
The domains and item wording are informed by the G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance on the division of responsibility between board and management, ISO 37000 on accountability and decision-making, ISO 31000 and COSO Enterprise Risk Management on appetite, ownership, and integration with strategy, the IIA Three Lines Model on where assurance sits, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework on accountable ownership of AI outcomes, the Project Management Institute standards on portfolio and benefits ownership, and peer-reviewed work on decision rights, organizational learning, and psychological safety collected in the research foundations. These references inform the constructs; none certifies, validates, or endorses this developmental instrument, and the Four A's of Organizational Readiness™ is the integrating architecture.
