How it is applied

Putting you in control
Irrespective of your specific need and application, the primary goal of the measurement is to provide a benchmark and analysis of the gap between your Aspirational Index (where you want your business to be), and your Current Reality (where your business currently is). This puts you in control of closing this performance gap and in control of your business' future.

While there are numerous applications for this measurement product at many different levels in a business, Calibre provides answers to six vital questions:

Are your business aspirations high enough?

• Is there a strong enough belief in the capability of your people to craft your business' competitive advantage?
• Is this belief shared at all the right levels to facilitate it becoming a reality?

How clear is your business vision, and how well is it being conveyed?

• Do you know through which specific individuals, teams or divisions your business vision and strategy are being successfully driven or impeded, and to what degree?
