DIAGNOSTIC INSTRUMENT · 25 ITEMS · FROM "THE FATAL FIVE"
Five organizational failure patterns precede almost every disaster examined in this book, from the Titanic to the CrowdStrike outage. This instrument scores your own organization against the same five patterns, before they cost what they cost in the case studies.
Rate each statement 1–5, where 1 means "rarely true of us" and 5 means "consistently true of us." Higher is healthier throughout. If more than one person is scoring, complete this independently before comparing answers — a wide spread on the same statement is itself a finding.
