The Pragmadik Steering Guide Index (also referred to as the Steering Index™) is a proprietary diagnostic tool.
Developed by Andrea Belk Olson and Pragmadik, it measures strategic alignment and behavior adoption across organizations.
It evaluates how well employees and teams are steering in the direction of strategic priorities.
These KPIs are designed to be repeatable and trackable quarterly. They’re ideal for creating a dashboard-style visual in leadership reviews. Combined, they serve as a leading indicator for strategy adoption health.
1. Strategy Clarity Index KPI:
% of employees who can clearly articulate the company’s strategy and their role in it
2. Behavior Adoption Speed KPI: Average number of days from strategy communication to observed adoption of targeted behaviors
3. Cross-Functional Alignment Score KPI: % of teams that report aligned decision-making and prioritization across departments
4. Strategic Drift Ratio KPI: % of time, budget, or effort spent on non-strategic initiatives
5. Trust & Contribution Confidence KPI: % of employees confident in their ability to contribute to the organization’s strategic objectives/goals
