Our Methodology

How We Drill Down to Your Organization's Core Needs

The Significant Six Assessment is a comprehensive discovery process that examines every dimension of your organization — revealing what's working, what's missing, and what needs to change.

The Significant Six Assessment

We walk you through the discovery of your organization's most essential elements. Each of the six dimensions is examined with depth and intention — giving you a clear, honest picture of where your organization stands and a roadmap for where it needs to go.

Six dimensions. One complete picture of your organization.

The Six Dimensions

01

Identity

Vision, Mission, Purpose

We help you uncover and articulate the foundational 'why' behind your organization. A clear identity aligns every decision, every hire, and every initiative with a shared sense of purpose.

Who are we?Why do we exist?Where are we going?
02

Systems

Infrastructure

We examine the operational backbone of your organization — the processes, tools, and structures that either enable or hinder your people from doing their best work.

How do we operate?What supports our work?Where do systems break down?
03

Climate

Emotional Intelligence

We assess the emotional environment of your organization — how people feel, how they relate to one another, and how that emotional landscape shapes performance, retention, and trust.

How do people feel here?Is psychological safety present?What drives or drains energy?
04

Culture

Values, Beliefs, Characteristics & Their Impact

We surface the unwritten rules, shared beliefs, and behavioral norms that define your culture — and examine how they impact your environment, productivity, and ability to attract and retain talent.

What do we truly value?What behaviors are rewarded?What does our culture cost us?
05

Leadership

Management Approach

We evaluate how leadership shows up at every level — from executive vision to frontline management — and identify the gaps between intended leadership and experienced leadership.

How do leaders lead?Is leadership consistent?Where does leadership fail the team?
06

Longevity

Adaptability

We assess your organization's capacity to evolve — its resilience in the face of change, its ability to develop future leaders, and its readiness to sustain growth over time.

Can we adapt?Are we building for the future?What threatens our sustainability?

The SCION Difference

Discovery isn't a checkbox. It's a conversation.

We don't arrive with a predetermined answer. We arrive with the right questions — and we stay until the full picture comes into focus.

How It Works

A Structured Path to Clarity

01

Discovery

We begin with deep listening — interviews, observations, and data gathering across your organization.

02

Assessment

We apply the Significant Six framework to map your organization's current state across all six dimensions.

03

Insight

We synthesize findings into a clear, honest picture of your organization's strengths and growth areas.

04

Action

We co-create a tailored roadmap with your leadership team — practical, prioritized, and built for your context.
