The MIQ Index

A diagnostic framework and software that shows whether the business has the leadership capacity and capability, structural design, operating behaviors, and workforce required to execute the plan.
‍
What MIQ Does

See What Is Helping or Hindering Execution

The MIQ Index gives sponsors and leadership teams a clear, practical view of the conditions affecting execution.It identifies where the organization is stable, where friction is building, where risk is concentrated, and which moves should be prioritized first.

The output is not a generic assessment. It is a focused view of execution capacity tied to business priorities.

The MIQ Index Answers Three Practical Questions

Question 1

Where are we today?

A baseline view of leadership capability and capacity, structural design, operating behaviors, and whether the workforce systems have been optimized for the strategic plan
Question 2

What is constraining progress?

A ranked view of the stabilizers and constraints affecting speed, accountability, risk, and deal returns.
Question 3

What do we do first?

A practical roadmap that sequences the highest-leverage actions and connects them to business priorities.
