• Answering the questions will allow you to make a self assessment in the relevant areas of top-management.

• The questions are only a guideline to help you to realize the hot topics in your case and they don`t need to be answered in great detail or depth. We would, however, like to ask you to reflect a little in advance.

• Please make some notes on the slides about your findings so that we can discuss them during our meeting
