In every business, some parts of it may be stagnating or not performing as well as others. This creates a bottleneck in that business that could lead an entire business to hit a plateau.

When the people in that business or organization discover which parts of that organization are not performing as well as others, they have a chance at leveraging the well-performing parts and fixing the parts that are under-performing. With this new-found knowledge, they can build the next stage of success and growth for that business.

If you are engaged with such a business or a non-profit in any of the following roles, you may benefit from taking this quiz.

• Business Owners, Presidents, CEO's.
• Executive Directors of non-profit organizations.
• CXOs, VPs, Directors, and Managers of businesses and non-profits.
• Employees, contractors and individual contributors who work for an organization.
• Consultants, advisers, board members, and engaged observers.
• Analysts, reporters, and investors.

The more people who take the questionnaire, the more objective the aggregate results are. The more diversity is there in the perspective of the people taking the assessment, the more meaningful the results are.
