xQ2 Report for Company X (456 Respondents) March 11, 2007
Executive SummaryWelcome to the xQ Comparative Report for Company X. The purpose of this report is to help your organization or unit understand the degree of change in your ability to
focus and execute on its most important goals. Your Execution Quotient, or xQ score, is a leading indicator of the likelihood of executing current goals as well as any
future goals.
A few facts about the xQ Questionnaire:• There are 27 questions (22 objective; 5 open-ended) about your execution discipline.
• There are 4 custom questions.
• Results are reported for the organization as a whole, as well as for each unit or work group.
• Results are anonymous—individual responses cannot be traced. To protect the anonymity of respondents, no data for groups of fewer thanfive respondents is reported.
• The questionnaire can be readministered regularly to track improvement in execution capability.
The xQ score is a number on a scale of 0–100, where 100 indicates flawless execution. The xQ score is based on points awarded on Questions 1–19 and 21. Other
questions do not affect the xQ score but provide critical insight into execution issues. Below is the overall xQ score for Company X together with scores on your application
of six key principles of execution at three levels.

is to push the xQ score in that direction.

Is the distribution curve narrow? broad?
What does this distribution curve indicate about our execution discipline?
What would it mean to us to narrow the curve and move it to the right?
