Who should participate
Ideally, the following
individuals should participate in your assessment:
- The CEO/founder
and spouse
- Each partner, owner
or family
member who has or anticipates having ownership in the company
- Each family member
who works for the firm
- Key managers who
have substantial experience with the firm and intimate knowledge of
its internal workings
It is not unusual
for one or more the above categories to not be represented in a particular
business. In any case, the most beneficial and reliable results are produced
by the broadest possible participation.
Is there a minimum
age for participants?
Family members in their teens who anticipate working and/or owning shares
in the firm, may participate, particularly if they meet the following
criteria:
- He or she is familiar
with the business
- Has the ability
to reasonably observe the company
- Is able to comment
or form an opinion about aspects of the firm's functioning
There is no absolute
age minimum for participation. However, we have found that some, but not
all, 15-year olds are able to contribute to their firm's assessment.
Is this a group
exercise?
No. Each participant must complete his or her own questionnaire separately.
You will gain the greatest value from your assessment if participants
do not compare or discuss their responses before the Solution Sage report
is received and shared for discussion (if you so choose).
