The Curiosity Diagnostic

How curious is your organization?

Most leaders believe curiosity matters. Almost none of them can say how much of it they have. Built with Hult EF Corporate Solutions, the diagnostic turns a feeling into a number you can act on.

The problem

You cannot manage what you cannot see

To survive and thrive, seize opportunities and navigate an ever-evolving digital landscape, organizations have to embrace curiosity — not only in individuals, but across the whole organization.

The difficulty is that it is hard to assess accurately how curious an organization really is, or how it compares with others. Engagement surveys ask the wrong questions. Competency frameworks describe curiosity in adjectives. Neither gives you somewhere to start.

The Curious Advantage Diagnostic

What it does

Four things you get back

Developed in partnership with Hult EF Corporate Solutions, the diagnostic uses the 7Cs of Curiosity framework introduced in The Curious Advantage.

01

A full picture

A comprehensive view of curiosity across your organization, not a proxy measure borrowed from an engagement score.

02

Gaps and openings

Where you are strong and where you are stuck, identified against each of the seven Cs individually.

03

Untapped potential

The pockets of curiosity already working somewhere in the business that nobody has scaled yet.

04

Market context

Where your curiosity maturity sits relative to the market, so the result means something to a board.

How it runs

From survey to strategy

Scope

Decide who takes it — a leadership team, a function, or the whole organization — and what you want to compare.

Measure

A structured assessment against the 7Cs, deployed to your population and benchmarked against Hult EF's global data set.

Read it together

A working session with your leadership team on what the pattern says, and which two or three Cs are worth moving first.

Act, then re-measure

Pair it with the learning program or program design, then re-run the diagnostic to show the shift in the same seven dimensions.
