Align By Design · Execution Readiness Assessment

The ERA Test. Five questions. One honest read.

Each question targets one dimension where the Think–Say–Do gap most commonly forms in scaling companies. Answer based on what is actually happening, not what is intended, or what gets reported up.

5 questions 10 minutes 5 dimensions
01Strategy Clarity

If you asked your top 10 leaders to write down the company's three current priorities, how many versions would you get?

Not the official strategy document. What they would actually write from memory, unprompted, on a Tuesday afternoon.

02Decision Rights

Think of the last significant decision that stalled in your organisation. Who actually had the authority to make it?

Not who should have had authority by org chart. Who did the people involved believe had the authority?

03Resource Alignment

When did you last change a budget line, headcount allocation, or standing meeting agenda to reflect a stated new priority?

Strategy that does not move money or calendar time is aspiration, not direction.

04Accountability

In your last three performance reviews, how many times did someone name a missed commitment without an external reason attached?

External reasons: market, macro, the other team, the system. Internal accountability means owning the gap without a qualifier.

05Execution Culture

When your leadership team agrees to a path forward in a meeting, what happens after the meeting ends?

This is the most reliable test of whether your organisation executes or performs execution.

The test gives you a signal. The interpretation is specific to your situation. Leave your details and Harish will send you a short, personal read within 48 hours: what your pattern likely means and what he would look at first. No sequence, no list, one email from a person.

Done. The read is on its way.

Harish will write to you within 48 hours with what your pattern likely means and what he would look at first.

This is the signal, not the diagnostic. One question per dimension tells you where to look, not how deep the gap runs. The full ERA is a priced, organisation-wide assessment: 25 behaviourally anchored questions, administered separately across your leadership layers, surfacing the variance between what the top believes and what the organisation is living. Ask Harish about it in your reply.
