Wardley Strategy Self-Assessment Tool

What is this?​

The Strategy Self-Assessment is an interactive tool designed to help leaders evaluate the applicability and execution readiness of a specific strategy within their own context.

It presents a guided checklist of conditions grouped into two categories:

• Map Signals: Signs within your value chain and competitive environment that suggest the strategy is a good fit.
• Readiness: Capability and doctrinal readiness to act effectively, based on the foundational principles of good practice but tailored to the specific strategy.

What is it for?​

This tool supports decision-making by making implicit assumptions explicit. Rather than offering abstract criteria, it invites quick structured reflection using signals from both the external landscape and internal maturity.

It helps with:

• Gaining strategic clarity before taking action
• Encouraging dialogue and alignment among stakeholders
• Supporting better judgment under uncertainty

How to Use It​

1. Review each statement under Map Signals and Readiness.
2. Click on each item to indicate its relevance to your situation:
   • Green: This is true in your context.
   • Amber: This is partially true or uncertain.
   • Red: This does not apply or is false.
3. The tool will score each group and give an overall summary, working out a potential way forward.

Each assessment is private and non-persistent—designed for reflection, not reporting.

Why this format?​

Wardley Mapping emphasises situational awareness and contextual strategy. This component reflects that by offering a fast, frictionless way to assess fit and feasibility—without prescribing answers or requiring exhaustive analysis.

It’s not a substitute for deep expertise, mapping, or leadership judgment. But it offers a useful first-pass lens to guide further discussion or validate an intuitive sense of direction.
