A simple, intuitive process
The SightGlass diagnostic is an easy to use, structured way to gather insights from across your organization.
You can run engagements yourself from start to finish, or have a SightGlass Certified Partner manage the process. And it’s accessible – no specialist knowledge is required to participate.
The first step is to choose a diagnostic lens that best fits the organizational challenge you want to explore. Invitations are sent by email, and responses take less than 20 minutes to complete using any device. Participants receive a personalized report within seconds, giving instant insights and setting the stage for deeper reflection and action.
As each person contributes, the system builds a rich picture of how key challenges are seen and experienced. If you’ve opted for it, you’ll receive group-level reporting that highlights what matters most collectively.
