Most organizations don’t implode. They degrade in slow motion. Decisions stall, accountability blurs, trust leaks, and the work keeps moving while results quietly stop improving. The 'Collapse and Rebuild Diagnostic' is a spreadsheet tool that helps teams spot early warning signs and identify where recovery should begin. It measures two survival dimensions: Power and Flow: how authority and work actually move through the system Adaptation and Trust: whether change is real, and whether people believe it Inside the workbook, you’ll rate your confidence across the 4R Framework rebuild levers: Replace, Restructure, Redevelop, and Rebrand, organized into 16 sub-dimensions and 64 statements.

Important note: this download is the diagnostic instrument only. The facilitation guidance and step-by-step rebuild playbook are included in 'Collaborate Better' at CollaborateBetter.us.
