Kara 7+ Index™ — Your Organisational MRI 

A data-driven health check that reveals exactly what’s helping or hurting performance.

Every organisation has blind spots. Even leaders with the best intentions often assume things are working fine… until the data says otherwise.  

 
The Kara 7+ Index™ is your organisational MRI: a fast, evidence-based diagnostic that uncovers what’s really happening behind the scenes.

It shows the health of your North Star, Culture, Strategy, People, Customer, Proposition, Execution… and links these directly to performance metrics. 

Why the 7+ Index™ Works 

For more than 30 years, Dr. Alan O’Neill has helped global organisations align culture, strategy, and execution. The 7+ Index™ is the outcome of academic research and decades of commercial experience. 

It gives you: 

1. Clarity. A precise view of your strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots across the 7 organisational drivers. 

2. Focus. Clear priorities that leadership teams can act on immediately. 

3. Alignment. Everyone sees the same reality, not different versions depending on who you ask. 

4. Impact. Healthier organisations outperform… higher profitability, stronger culture, better customer outcomes, faster execution. 

What the Assessment Measures 

The 7+ Index™ evaluates all seven core drivers of performance: 

1) North Star — Are purpose, vision, and mission clear and lived daily? 

2) Culture — Are values behavioural, consistent, and embedded? 

3) Strategy — Are plans data-driven, co-created, and accountable? 

4) People — Are roles aligned with capability? Is leadership strong? 

5) Customer — Is the organisation customer-centric in reality, not just intention? 

6) Proposition — Are products/services relevant, differentiated, and evolving? 

7) Execution — Are processes disciplined, efficient, and consistent? 

Plus: 
Impact Metrics — the link between organisational health and real outcomes.
 

For deeper impact, you will see also how you perform against industry benchmarks.
