Planning framework diagnostic

This form captures information about your company, and its preparedness for investment and growth. When completed, you will receive a short diagnostic report that may help your planning process. The anonymised data will also contribute to a benchmarking study that will allow you to compare your ‘shape’ with that of the population.

Self assessment

These questions explore your progress along six axes that combine to present an overall picture of readiness for investment and growth. The data will be compiled as a spider chart, which will be returned to you with some preliminary feedback. In due course, you will be able to compare your 'shape' with benchmark positions interpreted from the population data.
