A Strategic Primer for the C3 Execution Calculator™
Thank you. Your C3 Execution Calculator™ has been sent to your inbox.
Before you complete the full diagnostic, here is a strategic primer to help you understand what the tool measures and how to interpret your score.
This page mirrors the high-performance language inside the Calculator, ensuring you begin with clarity before applying the full scoring system.
What C3 Really Measures
Most strategies fail not because leaders lack intelligence or effort, but because one or more pillars of the execution engine collapse under real-world pressure.
Your C3 Execution Calculator™ measures the strength of these three pillars:
C = Clarity
Clarity answers the question:
“Do people truly know what matters ... especially under pressure?”
Strong Clarity means:
Everyone knows the top 3 priorities
Every function can link their work to those priorities
Decisions consistently reflect the same hierarchy
Messaging reinforces the same truths
Clarity is tested, not assumed
When Clarity is weak, every team builds its own version of reality.
C = Cadence
Cadence is the heartbeat of execution.
It answers:
“Is there a predictable rhythm that keeps execution alive and visible?”
Strong Cadence means:
Daily/Weekly/bi-weekly/non-negotiable review rhythm
Every review links back to measurable outcomes
Risks and issues are addressed promptly
Dashboards are visible and updated
Execution tempo is maintained without micromanagement
When Cadence collapses, teams drift into emotional decision-making and last-minute firefighting.
C = Consequence
Consequence answers the real execution question:
“What actually happens when outcomes are missed?”
Strong Consequence means:
Incentives align with results
Underperformance triggers action
High performers are recognised
Budget/headcount shift based on real outcomes
Ownership is crystal clear
When Consequence is weak, accountability diffuses and results become optional.

 Interpretation Guide
85–100% → High Execution Readiness
World-class discipline. Strategy delivery is predictable and resilient.
70–84% → Moderate Readiness
Strong foundations, but pressure reveals weaknesses.
50–69% → High Execution Risk
Strategy likely to under-deliver unless systemic execution design improves.
Below 50% → Execution Breakdown
Strategy failure is almost guaranteed without immediate, structured intervention.
 Benchmark Scenario
A rapid preview before you take the full assessment
Ask your leadership team:
“If we had a 30% budget cut and a 60-day deadline,
would we respond with alignment and structure,
or emotion and firefighting?”
That single question is often the clearest predictor of your C3 score.
 What Strong C3 Organisations Do Differently
They consistently:
Kill ambiguity early
Maintain tempo under pressure
Talk openly about trade-offs
Review decisions after the fact to extract learning
Reallocate attention and budget based on results
Treat execution as a system, not a project
These are the patterns you’ll see at 85% and above.
