Welcome to the next step of your Journey

Welcome to this next step of your journey towards success.

The complimentary Symptoms Alignment Diagnostic helps you, and up to six others, establish your degree of alignment around each of the most prevalent symptoms of complexity or inappropriate responses to it (the symptoms of what’s not working).

In order to set up your diagnostic, we’ll ask you for the following – but most importantly to remind you to notify participants in advance (copy and edit the template below):

This is needed in order to:

identify you as the central point of contact

give you access to your response and the compiled report once all responses are submitted

inform participants who has invited them

This will be displayed to participants and in the individual and team reports. It is usually your organization’s name, but it could instead be a specific team, department, location or portfolio name.

We will ask you to enter a name and email address for each person you want to invite to participate.

We need this information so that we can email each participant their unique link to respond – so they can securely access (and save and return to) their response, and so they can access a short report of their individual response after they’ve submitted it.

You’ll also need this information in order to notify those people in advance of the invitation actually being sent.

It’s important for you to notify participants before we send their invitation email, to:

Help them understand why you’re running the diagnostic.

Ensure they look out for their invitation email and don’t mistake it for spam.

Increase participation rates by setting expectations in advance.

Encourage them to take the diagnostic seriously and provide insightful comments.

We deliberately build in a delay of at least one working day after you submit this form in order to give you time to notify participants in advance of them receiving their invitation email. Please ensure that you contact participants in advance of them receiving the invitation email, for all the reasons listed above.

Hi,

I plan to invite you and 5 others to join me in participating in a Symptoms Alignment Diagnostic – designed to help us understand how aligned we are.

It should take less than 30 minutes, and your responses will be anonymous.

You will be invited to log in to a secure environment in order for you to access and submit your response (and to access a short report of your response).

You’ll then be guided to select one of five evaluation statements for each of the most prevalent symptoms of complexity or inappropriate responses to it (the symptoms of what’s not working).

You will also have the option to add comments, which can add significant value. I’d really appreciate it if you could take a few extra moments to add comments to:

– indicate specific areas where you think support is needed.
– share any examples of best practice or guidance.
– capture any other insight not covered by the evaluation statement.

Look out for an email with the Subject “Your invitation to a Symptoms Alignment Diagnostic” from “Value Management Team”.

We’ll have 3 weeks to respond but the sooner we do, the sooner we’ll get the anonymized report that compiles all our responses together.

Let me know if you have any questions, or if you won’t be able to participate!

Kind Regards,

The invitation email will include a short ‘personal message’ from you, together with your name and email address, along with standard instructions on how to access the diagnostic.

This is to ensure that participants are clear about who invited them and why.

The message (which you can edit) will look like this:

[Your Name (Your Email Address)] has added the following context for this invitation:
“I’m inviting you and 5 others to join me in responding to this diagnostic as I value your perspective. It shouldn’t take you more than half an hour, and will help us clarify our strengths and weaknesses, including how aligned we are. Thanks!”

We’ll show you a preview of the full invitation email during the set up process (before they’re sent).

When you confirm and submit this information, we’ll create your diagnostic, schedule invitations (needed for you and the other participants to access your responses), keep you informed of responses received, and notify you when your compiled report is available to access.

This is a complimentary version of the diagnostic, so it will remain open for a fixed period of three weeks.

To get the most out of the diagnostic, try and include a cross-section of people – people with responsibility and influence, people affected by the situation, or people simply knowledgeable and passionate about it.

Any row may be left completely blank (if you have fewer than 6 people to invite) but each row you start must be fully completed, with a correct and unique email address.

If you’re looking to check out the diagnostic before you invite others, leave this section blank (but note that your diagnostic response will not be included in any subsequent ‘team’ report).
