18 Years
The average lifespan of a company today (and falling). In 1958 it was 61 years.
Record highs
Global insolvencies are running 24% higher than their pre-pandemic average.
90%
The share of enterprise value that is now intangible. In the 1980’s it was around 12 percent.
16%
Public trust in institutions is at a record low falling from 30% to 16% in 35 years.
The organisations failing faster, and the value sitting in things that cannot be measured,
are describing the same problem.
The instruments we use to understand and govern organisations were built for a different era.
By the time the numbers reflect the damage, it has already compounded.
It is reflected in the trust and faith people put in our institutions.
We are building a framework for measuring what the performance dashboard cannot see.
Before we go further, we want to understand this problem from your side.

Receive a free Meridian Assessment.
Every participant in our research programme receives a free Meridian Assessment of their organisation, produced using publicly available data and our proprietary diagnostic framework. No internal data required. No obligation to proceed further.
Adaptiv is building a new standard for how organisational health is measured and translated into economic terms. We are at an early and important stage of that work. We are conducting a small number of structured research conversations with senior decision makers, and we want to be direct about the exchange:
twenty minutes of your honest thinking, in return for a diagnostic assessment of your organisation that most firms charge thousands of pounds for.
If you want to understand more about the thinking behind this work before deciding, you can read about it here [hyperlink to homepage].
Who we are looking to speak to:
Owners and founders, board members, and C-suite leaders, specifically CEOs, CFOs and CHROs, of organisations that have been trading for at least seven years and have annual revenues of £25m or more.
If that is you, we would value the conversation.
What we are exploring.
Three questions are shaping our research:
Can leaders truly see what is driving performance beneath the financial metrics?
Can they identify what’s eroding the gap between potential and actual results, and put a number on it?
When decisions are made, does their current picture of the organisation give them confidence that they can actually be delivered, or are there gaps in the picture?
What you get in return:
A free Meridian Assessment of your organisation: A confidential, structured diagnostic, produced from publicly available data and signals, including financial filings, employee data, regulatory records, and market reporting, scored across fourteen organisational vital signs and translated into economic terms. The diagnostic will give you a reading on your organisation’s potential and what is constraining it, and an estimated economic cost of the constraint.
A summary of anonymised and aggregated findings from our interviews: Once enough conversations have been completed, we will share a summary that will give you a peer view of how other senior leaders across different organisations and sectors are experiencing the same challenges.
