You asked for a diagnostic checklist—here it is.
I developed these six questions over 40 years of turnarounds, refining them as I kept seeing the same patterns. It was hard-won, as I figured out why some companies responded to intervention and others didn’t. Most of the time, the answer came back to strategy: they were working incredibly hard on the wrong business.
This has helped me frame situations quickly, and I hope it helps you see your situation more clearly.
