  14. What kind of questions to ask? • How would you describe the strategy? To what extent is it widely shared? • What are our critical strengths in delivering this strategy? Weaknesses? How does this compare to our competitor’s position? • What is our unique value proposition? How do our people, our culture and our structure contribute to delivering this proposition? What gets in the way? • What do we most need leadership to deliver to succeed in the future? What needs to change? What are our strengths to leverage? Weaknesses to avoid? • How would we define our culture? What, if anything, should we focus on to facilitate execution? • What are the strengths of the systems and processes delivering our strategy? Weaknesses? • How do the ways we organise help or hinder our ability to win in the future? • How consistent are the messages we hear? To what extent do they reinforce the challenges we face?
