Premium · Readiness series · Diagnostic
A self-assessment built to surface where you are not ready, not to reassure you that you are.
Continuity fails in the gaps a leader has not looked at closely. This document makes those gaps visible.
The leaders who use it well treat every answer as a working diagnostic, not a self-assessment. You work through each of the eight domains in order, and for every checkpoint you mark one of three responses. Yes is reserved for full evidence. In progress means the work has begun but is not complete. No means the work has not started, whatever the intention behind it.
The prompts at the close of each section are the most valuable instrument in the document. Answered in full sentences, they turn a scored list into a plan of work.
The business may be ready before you are, or the reverse. Forty-two checkpoints tell you which, across vision, succession, knowledge, and governance.
Inherit with a clear map of what is in place and what is missing, rather than discovering the gaps once the seat is yours.
A structured, evidence-based read on whether an organisation is genuinely ready to hand something over, or only says it is.
A comprehensive self-assessment across the categories that determine whether an organisation is actually ready to hand something over.
Vision, succession, knowledge transfer, governance, and the other categories that decide continuity. Worked in order, each building on the last.
8 domainsEach checkpoint scored with one honest answer: full evidence, work in progress, or not started. No middle ground to hide in.
42 checkpointsAt the close of each domain, written prompts that convert a scored list into a plan of work. The most valuable instrument in the document.
Guidance on scoring the checklist the way it is meant to be scored, so the result is a diagnostic rather than a reassurance.
