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

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.
