Action Wheel Assessment
"Treatment without diagnosis is malpractice." ~Warren Hoffman
The Action Wheel Assessment is designed to be an organizational MRI. It will diagnose whether an organization is growing and prospering or is unhealthy and declining. It can pinpoint precisely where your organization is strong and where it is vulnerable.
An MRI scans soft tissues....The AWA scans soft issues!
Just as an MRI provides a picture of a person's “soft tissues”, the AWA provides an image of your organization's “soft issues.” The AWA also provides a picture of where the organization is strong and thriving. The AWA has been designed to be minimally invasive, and to capture the initial image of "what-is-going-on” – or what the organization's members initially think is going on.

The Action Wheel inventory assesses seven features of action that determine any organization's strengths and vulnerabilities.
Those seven features are:
- Existence: organizational identity and history that both limits and launches the organization.
- Resources: people, money, time, space, information, equipment and tools
- Structure: systems, policies and procedures
- Power: energy, motivation, morale, control
- Mission: goals, objectives and desires
- Meaning: guiding values, purpose
- Fulfillment: the completed act, that into which meaning, mission, power, structure, resources and existence converge.
Thinking, doing and being converge in fulfillment.
"Every human act reveals these seven generic features, all the time, every time. These features are explicitly or implicitly present whether the action has happened, is
happening, or will happen. "
~Bob Terry, Authentic Leadership: Courage In Action
A further description of these seven generic features of human action:
