Reporting Your World:

The Situational Assessment

A tailored report which lays out the reality of the most critical issues you face.

Strategy only happens within broader systemic contexts, from social and technological factors to environmental impacts and other shifting dynamics. A situational assessment report, tailored to your business context, lays out the reality of the most critical issues you face, identifying opportunity, risk, and red herrings. This is a document that builds consensus around a common world view for all stakeholders, to sit at the foundation of broader decision making: this is the world we work in and this the world that's coming.

What are the systemic factors rippling through in the undercurrents of your world, beyond your control, that will profoundly shape the near future world in which you operate?

If your world’s changing, how do you need to change to live in it?
