You’ll be scored across five value-critical dimensions:

Strategic Alignment
Your leaders position the initiative as strategic and form the partnerships required to generate momentum and shared ownership.

Leader Readiness
Alignment, horizontal and vertical, is a decisive advantage. How consistently leaders present a united front, practice candour, and move fluidly between business priorities and delivery execution.
Internal Positioning
Your change is your brand. How clearly it is framed, understood, and owned across the organisation and whether people can explain it consistently when you’re not in the room.

Delivery Agility
Agility and pace are your execution engine. How effectively leaders regain momentum in ambiguity, adapt in motion, and convert activity into meaningful progress.

Engagement & Buy-In
Buy-in is done with, not done to. How effectively stakeholders understand the change, engage in co-creation, and actively participate across the organisation.
