Take a moment to explore situations where a CEO sparring partner could bring additional value, whether in your own decision-making or in strengthening the organization’s performance and strategic outcomes.
Please answer intuitively—trust your first instinct.
Decision-Making
- I often feel that I don’t have all the necessary information to make important and/or complex decisions.
- I usually make key decisions without a neutral counterpart to challenge my assumptions and potential limitations.
- Sometimes, I make decisions under pressure, without enough time for strategic reflection.
- When making strategic decisions, additional critical analysis of alternatives would be beneficial.
- I feel that I could make some decisions faster if I had the right additional support.
- In new business challenges, I would benefit from the experience of others in similar situations or a second opinion.
Organizational Readiness for the Modern Economy
- We are not fully confident that we understand all the dynamics of the digital economy and their impact on our business.
- I am not entirely convinced that our strategic directions and/or business models are innovating in ways that deliver sufficient value to our most important customers.
- I see implementation challenges in our digital transformation, or I feel that some of our strategic projects are not delivering enough tangible business benefits.
- No one in our organization systematically focuses on balancing ongoing cost optimization with customer and employee experience.
- It seems that we do not (yet) have a clear plan for leveraging the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence.
- I am not confident that our employees possess the (digital) competencies needed to ensure their and our future success.
Evaluation of Results:
If you answered “Yes” to 3 or more questions in either section, a business sparring partner could provide significant added value to your work.
If you answered “Yes” to more than 6 questions in total, a business sparring partner is not just an interesting option but a crucial partner for decision-making and achieving strategic goals in the modern economy.
If your results are inconclusive (6+6), use this additional question for reflection: “I realize that frequent operational challenges take up too much of my time, leaving me with less time for strategic reflection about the future of our organization.”
