Results and feedback from Velocity's leadership work
“Now associates understand themselves better, and leaders have new tools to support their teams.”
“Velocity challenged our team and brought us together in ways that have paid immediate dividends.”
How scoring works
Each check is one point. Ready means 9 to 12 checks and at least 3 in every section. A high total with an empty section is a warning, not a pass.
0 to 4: Map ownership first
List every function and name one owner for each.
5 to 8: Close the gaps
Use your unchecked boxes to find where the business gets lost.
9 to 12: Ownership is clear
Revisit the matrix each time the business grows.
