Our methodology relies on collecting quantitative and qualitative data to provide a holistic picture of your organization. We use a set of carefully designed questions that address multiple aspects of your business, from innovation and strategy to leadership and exit readiness.

2. Expert-Backed Insights

The questions, categories, and scoring models are informed by business experts, consultants, and well-established frameworks such as Lean, Six Sigma, and Systematics™. The assessment has been validated through testing with real-world companies, refining the approach to ensure it reflects the realities of today’s business landscape.

3. Comprehensive Evaluation Across Core Areas

How Systematics™ Helps You Act on These Insights

Insights are only valuable if you act on them, and this is where our Systematics™ methodology comes in. Systematics™ provides a structured framework that helps you address the gaps identified in the assessment using a range of powerful tools such as value mapping, system extraction forms, and playbook creation.

Identify Key Processes for Systemization Using Value Mapping

To optimize business performance across all areas—Innovation, Resources, Strategy, Alignment, Leadership, Processes, and Exit Readiness—Systematics™ uses value mapping as a foundational tool. Value mapping helps you visualize the value engines within your organization—those processes and activities that create the most significant impact on overall business outcomes.
By mapping these value engines, we can identify the key processes that need to be documented and systemized. This ensures that your most critical operations are repeatable, efficient, and scalable, which is essential for businesses looking to reduce inefficiencies, improve productivity, and prepare for growth.

Standardize and Systemize Core Processes with System Extraction Forms

Systematics™ leverages system extraction forms to help you capture every step of your core business processes. By breaking down each process into repeatable steps, we create detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that ensure consistency and efficiency. This tool is particularly valuable for businesses that score low in the Processes category, as it helps reduce errors, improve productivity, and enable scalability by creating repeatable systems.

Align Leadership and Strategy with Playbook Creation

Misalignment between Leadership and Strategy is a common obstacle that can hold businesses back. Systematics™ uses playbook creation to provide clarity and alignment for leaders at all levels. By creating a playbook, we document strategic objectives, leadership roles, and key action steps that everyone can follow. This approach is supported by strategic planning workshops and leadership training, ensuring that leaders are aligned with the organization’s goals and can drive cohesive, focused growth. Playbooks help to turn strategic plans into actionable, easy-to-follow guides that foster alignment across teams.

Prepare for Exit and Build Value Using the Systematics™ Framework

If your Exit Readiness score is low, Systematics™ offers a comprehensive approach to preparing for a successful exit. We use tools such as system extraction forms and playbook creation to formalize processes, ensuring that the business can operate smoothly without relying on any single individual. Additionally, our value mapping exercises help identify key areas that enhance profitability and overall business value. From developing a clear succession plan to documenting critical processes, Systematics™ helps you build the necessary foundation for a smooth and profitable exit.

Empower Your Business with the Right Insights

The Systematics™ Business Assessment Report is an essential tool for any business looking to understand its current position and chart a path forward. By evaluating core areas like Innovation, Strategy, Leadership, and Exit Readiness, the assessment provides actionable insights that help you make data-driven decisions.

Whether you’re preparing for an exit, looking to scale, or simply want to ensure your business is operating at peak efficiency, this report delivers the clarity and direction you need. Coupled with our Systematics™ framework, it’s not just about understanding where you are—but about knowing exactly how to get to where you want to be.
