In an era marked by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), organizations must do more than respond to disruption—they must lead through it. The Resilient Organizational Architecture Diagnostic (ROAD), developed by the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Sustainable Business in partnership with The Business of Humanity® Project, Center for Supply Chain Management, and Center for Executive Education, is designed to do exactly that.
ROAD is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool built to help organizations assess and strengthen their resilience across key dimensions. It focuses on three critical clusters—Inspirational Transformative Ambition (a bold, purpose-driven vision that inspires change), Innovative Value Networks (collaborative partnerships that create and share new value), and Hybrid Intelligence Ecosystems (smart integration of people, data, and technology for better decisions)—each vital to thriving in a world shaped by "wicked" problems and system-level challenges.
Through an intuitive self-assessment and benchmarking process, ROAD enables C-suite leaders to evaluate organizational practices, identify areas of strength and improvement, and gain actionable insights to future-proof strategy. The tool's feedforward design encourages proactive decision-making, helping organizations shift from reactive responses to sustainable innovation and long-term impact.
This isn’t just about diagnosing current capabilities—it’s about building a resilient architecture that turns disruption into opportunity. Whether you're refining your ESG strategy, preparing for system shocks, or scaling innovation, ROAD equips you with the intelligence and comparative insights to lead with confidence and clarity.
We invite you to explore ROAD as part of your strategic planning and leadership development. Our team stands ready to partner with you to drive resilience, profitability, and purpose.
