A diagnostic that reads a business inside and out, benchmarks it against its industry peers, and turns the gaps into one prioritized plan.
The CMG 360™ evaluates a privately held business from the inside and the outside, benchmarks it against companies of similar size in its industry, and measures the gap between where it stands today and where a world-class company in its field would be.
Then it delivers a report that defines the strategy and the action plans to close that gap — sequenced so an owner knows exactly what to do first.
Most businesses are world-class in spots and weaker in others. A company moves at the speed of its worst domain, not its best — so every domain gets read, not just the strong ones.
A business is assessed in light of the goals, aspirations, and challenges its owner is actually facing. The analysis is built around where this owner wants to go — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
One assessment, two vantage points. Together they show not just what a business is today, but what it can become.
COMPASS is the internal diagnostic. It scores the operation across seven domains over 160 questions and benchmarks the company against others of similar size in its industry. A business moves at the speed of its weakest domain — COMPASS finds it.
BEACON is the external analysis. It sizes the market the company actually operates in — by industry and geography — maps its position today, and looks ahead to the opportunities, threats, and blind spots in the market itself.
