The Structural Readiness Index evaluates whether an organisation has the structure required to operate beyond the organised stage. It is not a framework to implement. It is a structural assessment.
The SRI examines three structural pillars that determine whether decisions resolve coherently across the organisation.
Three Structural Pillars
Decision Governance — whether strategic priorities translate cleanly into decision authority. Whether the right people are making the right decisions without unnecessary escalation.
Accountability Integrity — whether ownership for outcomes is clear, durable, and distributed across functions. Not just assigned — genuinely held.
Forecast Reliability — whether the organisation can predict and manage delivery outcomes across functions. Whether what gets committed to actually gets delivered.
Structural Readiness Rating
Each dimension is scored. The output is a Structural Readiness Rating.
Fragile — Structure is largely informal. Alignment depends on individual intervention.
At Risk — Some structure exists but decision alignment is inconsistent.
Stable — Structure generally supports aligned decisions across leadership.
Withstand — Structure consistently supports organisational coherence. The organisation operates as a system.
How the diagnostic works
The SRI is not a self-assessment. It is a structured leadership conversation conducted individually with each member of the leadership team.
Where leaders agree, the structure is functioning. Where they disagree, the gap is structural. The greater the variation between answers, the weaker the structural alignment.
