Aperture allows you to check in on your strategy — just like you check in on your people — and make strategy an ongoing dialogue that leads to real action.

“Collects feedback from across the organization on how the company is doing around strategy.”

“Like your annual people survey – but on the topic of strategy.”

“Allows you to measure progress over time and compare your performance to industry benchmarks.”

“Creates the right conditions to ask the difficult questions, have a real debate, and create true alignment.”

1. Assess

Through the Aperture survey, employees in your organization assess how well your company is doing along the strategy-to-execution continuum.

The survey focuses on the fundamental questions of strategy every company needs to answer, covering the company’s value proposition, capabilities, products and services, strategic leadership, and impact. Questions can be tailored to your company’s unique situation.

2. Converse and commit

Top management holds a workshop to discuss results from the organization’s assessment – what works well, what needs improvement, what can we learn from individual teams or businesses?

The top team meeting concludes with a set of tangible actions and commitments to improve the company’s strategy and execution.

3. Execute and improve

The top team leads the implementation of the action plan that will help further the strategy itself, better execute it, and make it relevant for employees.

4. Make it stick

Getting feedback from the organization on an annual basis allows you to measure progress and uncover potential new strategic issues.
