Stage 3 to Stage 4 Maturity Assessment

Written By Kara Kuykendall

Is your Stage 3 company ready for Stage 4 growth?

A simple executive ready assessment to evaluate your organization’s readiness across strategy, process, and talent

Evaluate the Three Essentials for Growth: Strategy, Process, Talent

Most Stage 3 companies feel the pressure to scale quickly - without knowing if their organization is ready. This assessment provides a clear, honest view of where you stand today and what needs attention before acceleration.

Use this tool to identify:

  • Misalignment across the leadership team

  • Gaps in process and operational consistency

  • Leadership readiness and talent risks

  • Signs of friction as you scale

  • Opportunities that unlock faster, more predictable growth

Who This Is For

This assessment is designed for leaders within a Stage 3 start up who are witnessing one or more of these signals:

  • Hiring rapidly (20 or more open roles)

  • Adding leadership roles - Directors, VPs, a COO for the first time (or a quick replacement)

  • Expanding into new markets or taking new products through GTM

  • Experiencing strain from high touch processes that are impacting moral and/or customer experience

Optional Executive Debrief

After completing the diagnostic, you are invited to a brief review with Kara to better understand how to move forward and where to start. Kara’s extensive experience building organizations across the world, deep understanding of process implementation and change management, and empathetic listening approach will set you up for success.

Kara can also work with you to complete the assessment if preferred. Be sure to book 1 hour to allow enough time to discuss.
