Executive pre-assessment
Rapidly identify directional signals across the five lenses: Proportionality, Line of Sight, Value Realisation, Decision Velocity and Accountability.
What the workbench does
From executive signal to diagnostic evidence.
The workbench translates the Governance Effectiveness Diagnostic into a structured assessment environment for capturing responses, surfacing patterns and exporting reports.
Diagnostic review
Move from the pre-assessment into issue-focused diagnostic statements, triggered indicators, patterns, recommendations and evidence areas.
Executive reporting
Export pre-assessment and diagnostic reports that support discussion of governance coherence, decision confidence and ethical effectiveness.
The workbench does not ask whether governance exists. It asks whether governance works.

Included

- Five-lens heatmap
- Governance Effectiveness Model positioning
- Primary and secondary attention lenses
- Cross-functional observations
- Recommended next diagnostic pathway
Activation required
Diagnostic
A deeper issue-framed review that examines triggered indicators, diagnostic statements, governance patterns, recommendations and evidence areas.
- Triggered diagnostic scope
- Issue-signal assessment statements
- Pattern detection
- Recommendation pathways
- Diagnostic report export
The recommended approach is to begin with the Executive Pre-Assessment. Where meaningful signals emerge, the Diagnostic provides a deeper review of the affected indicators, decision pathways, accountabilities, stakeholder impacts and evidence needs.

A diagnostic tool, not a certification.
The Governance Effectiveness Diagnostic Workbench provides structured assessment and reporting support. It is not an official King V product, disclosure substitute, assurance product, compliance certification, or standards conformance assessment.
The workbench is designed to support conversations about governance effectiveness, ethical effectiveness, decision confidence and governance coherence. Organisations remain responsible for determining which laws, standards, codes, policies and professional obligations apply to them.
