The 6 Blind Spots That Kill Businesses
Most turnarounds fail because no one agrees on what’s broken:
1) The Readiness Diagnostic isolates six structural blind spots that silently destroy momentum, long before the P&L shows it.
2) It gives you a clear view of what is urgent, what is political, and what is still fixable.
3) These six categories shape the full risk map and inform the final score. Not all red flags matter equally. This tool shows you where the collapse starts.
Priorities:
Misaligned board and leadership priorities are often the root cause of slow decline. This category reveals where strategy is unclear, timing is off, or hard choices are avoided.
People:
Many turnarounds stall because of unclear roles, weak execution, or internal friction. This category shows whether the team is structurally capable — or quietly overwhelmed.
Position:
A strong product means nothing if the market has moved on. This category uncovers whether your value proposition, timing, and traction still match real customer demand.
Power:
Misalignment and mistrust between owners, board, and leadership delay decisions and block momentum. This category surfaces governance friction and decision bottlenecks.
Pipeline:
A weak or unpredictable sales pipeline often signals declining demand, poor positioning, or a broken go-to-market strategy. This category exposes fragility in future revenue.
P&L:
Cash flow pressure, false profitability, or hidden burn rates can mask deeper problems. This category highlights financial signals that reveal urgency — or denial.
