The SMACK Diagnostic™
A Clear View of What’s Actually Limiting Performance
The SMACK Diagnostic™ identifies the human and structural constraints that quietly undermine execution—so leaders can stop guessing and start fixing what matters.
The Problem
Most organizations respond to underperformance by:
Pushing harder
Adding incentives
Launching training
Talking about culture
These efforts rarely stick—because they treat symptoms, not causes.
The Difference
The SMACK Diagnostic™ is not a survey.
It is an evidence-based executive assessment of how work is designed, governed, and reinforced across your organization.
We evaluate five execution pillars:
Systems
Motivation
Accountability
Communication
Knowledge
Using observable data—not opinions.
What You Get
A clear picture of execution capacity
Identification of root constraints (not surface issues)
A board-ready heat map of strengths and risks
A prioritized intervention path grounded in reality
No fluff. No vague recommendations.
Why It Works
Performance breakdowns rarely stem from lack of effort or talent. They stem from misaligned systems that make high performance irrational.
The SMACK Diagnostic™ shows:
Where effort is being wasted
Where capability is breaking down
Where leadership attention will have the highest return
Who It’s For
Senior leaders accountable for outcomes
Organizations experiencing execution drag
Teams scaling faster than their systems
Leaders tired of “initiative churn”
What Happens Next
The diagnostic creates a shared, objective view of reality—so leadership can:
Make better decisions
Design better systems
Improve results without burnout
