Helping organizations connect strategy, evidence, leadership, and organizational effectiveness to turn priorities into measurable impact.
Know where you are before deciding what’s next
Organizations are often strongest when they can recognize both what is working well and where there is room to grow. Strengths and opportunities naturally exist side by side, offering valuable insight into what can be built upon and what may be worth exploring next.
This brief assessment invites you to consider five conditions that influence an organization’s ability to move priorities forward: strategic direction, organizational alignment, leadership capacity, evidence, and institutional effectiveness.
There are no “right” answers. Rate each statement based on how consistently it reflects your organization today, rather than where you would like the organization to be.
Your results will provide an overall Organizational Pulse Score and identify a relative strength and an area that may be worth exploring more deeply.

A structured institutional self-assessment that produces a readiness profile across the five dimensions DAK works in — strategy, alignment, leadership, evidence, and impact.

What will you learn?
Your institution's strongest areas, one or two priority opportunities, and a direct path to the DAK service and Signature Solution built for that work.
