Org DNA Profiler® Survey

Ever wonder why some organizations consistently deliver while others disappoint? Faced with the same market, stocked with similar talent, one organization flourishes, while the other flounders. Organizational DNA — a concept and approach developed by Strategy& — explains why. Explore this site to learn more.

Find out in minutes if your organization has the right stuff. Take the short test below and diagnose your organization’s DNA. Is it passive-aggressive, fits-and-starts, outgrown, overmanaged, just-in-time, military precision, or resilient? Also, learn how coherent your organization is with its strategy through our Coherence Index. Once you know, you can keep what’s good, fix what’s wrong, and unlock great performance.

For each question, please select the answer that best describes your organization. Enter your best guess if you are unsure. Survey results may be reported in aggregate, but all individual responses will be kept strictly confidential.
