PERFECT BIZ MATCH is a road map to help managers navigate in today's complex and challenging business environment and steer their organizations on a path to success.
Archetypes are practical, easy-to-use metaphors that help managers identify and talk about markets, organizations, and interactions between the two. They are an objective set of descriptions that enable management to create agreement on what is going on and what needs to change. Thus they are very useful tools for both developing strategy and implementing decisions.
Perfect Biz Match will help you to create a portrait of your own organization. This, in turn, will give you a clearer view of current conditions, as well as crucial information for making strategic decisions and choices. Perfect Biz Match can also be used as a tool for understanding your competition, so that you can better compete against their strengths and weaknesses.
When organizations use the Perfect Biz Match for the first time everyone may be on the same page regarding what needs to be done. This is a rare occurrence
In order to determine the market in which a company does business, Perfect Biz Match has devised a free assessment process which identifies which of the four markets the company occupies and a location within that space that indicates sustainability. It also includes the compatibility of your organization with the market you have identified.
To determine your market, your position in it, and the appropriateness of your organization for that market we invite you to take the Perfect Biz Match assessment (link located below and in the right column).
Once you have completed the assessment, you will receive a simple interpretation of your results which can be used in developing your business and company strategy. We encourage you to have your results available before proceeding to the rest of this website.

author mean by 'my organization'? Is he talking about the division I
work for? The specific department in which I work? The company as a
whole? The multinational Fortune 500 firm that own the company? Each of these operates quite differently. Which one can I legitimately call 'my organization'?" Critical questions - but not hard to answer. Read More

your answers if you wish. Consider each question carefully. Don't try to hurry through. If at
