What the diagnostic produces
The Clario diagnostic produces an outcome that is a small set of clear and structured outputs.
They are designed to be:
- easy to read
- easy to share
- easy to use in decision-making settings
The objective is to provide clarity that can be used in decision-making.
A clear focus on what matters
The diagnostic highlights the few elements that deserve attention.
Rather than listing topics or initiatives, the outcome:
- clarifies priorities
- makes trade-offs explicit
- shows where focus is required
This helps reduce dispersion and supports sharper decisions.
A basis for aligned decisions
The outcome is designed to be used.
It supports:
- leadership discussions
- strategic choices
- alignment across teams
The format is intentionally simple, so that clarity is preserved when the output is shared or discussed
A shared picture of the situation
The first outcome is a clear and shared representation of the situation.
It brings together:
- the main forces at play
- key constraints and tensions
- areas of alignment and divergence
This picture allows leadership teams to discuss the situation using the same reference points.
How leaders typically use it
Leaders use the diagnostic outcome to:
- frame critical discussions
- explain decisions to stakeholders
- align teams before execution begins
Its value lies in its ability to make complexity readable and actionable.
