Business process vulnerability identification and repair
VIA·Business is one assessment in a Product Line of services from Vector Reports.
________________________________________________________________________________________
It can be quite a climb to business success.
The journey is often fraught with difficult steps, unanticipated turns, and hidden vulnerabilities in business processes.
Often the field is not level nor fair. Access to high-quality guidance and advice can be difficult to obtain and, even when it is available, it can be unaffordable.
Our assessments are working to make the journey, well, less steep by identifying hazards early.
We have been on that journey ourselves. We have helped other individuals, leaders, businesses, and organizations do what they do better by focusing them upon efficient actions that increase the likelihood of success—identifying and repairing business process vulnerabilities.
Vector Reports created the VIA·Business assessment to help you improve both your organization and the business itself through informed change—and in the process speed your business growth journey to reliable performance levels.
Helps you mature from one level up to the next …
3 ……………………………………………. Know to Grow!
2 ………………………………. “So” to Know!
1 ………………… “Oh” to “So”!
0 …..“Ow” to “Oh”!
When starting out we all experience the “Ow” and pain of learning, but eventually we learn to see, and can then say “Oh, things could be different.” Then at the next level that ‘Oh’ awareness transforms into a “So, that is what I need to do.” And as you learn more, your actions create the confidence of “knowing.” And once you “Know, you can grow!“

Not knowing
________________________________________________________________________________________
At Vector Reports we believe “not knowing” is the root-cause challenge to overcome.
It may come as a surprise, but entrepreneurs and business leaders are actually risk-adverse. They are always seeking information to be able to make better decisions. Otherwise, it is like being in a dark room feeling the way forward.
We help you reveal unknown unknowns!
That is our value proposition to you. The assessment is a decision support system that helps you identify unknowns so you can make informed choices that result in better outcomes.
Johari Window
The window helps explain unknown unknowns. “Not knowing comes from:
- Not knowing what to do
- Leader not knowing
- The organization not knowing
- Your team not knowing
- Your team not sharing
- Outsiders not saying
- Complete surprises
If you did know, chances are you would already be taking action to prevent problems from forming or getting worse.
Now, multiply not knowing across the multitude of business processes and the number of people on your team, and one can quickly see it easily becomes one of the most difficult challenges to overcome for every small business.
Finding the light
There is nothing like the relief that comes after being stuck in the darkness and finally finding clarity—lighting a welcoming way ahead— and the treacherous climb of the unknown is gone.

Still have doubts?
Ask yourself if you have seen any of the following behaviors or characteristics?
| Opinions | Hidden bias | Guesses |
|---|---|---|
| Opinions taking precedence over data-driven vulnerability identification efforts. | Hidden biases inadvertently, or worse, automatically invoked. | Guesses used to move things forward instead of cogent or qualified analysis. |
| Variation | Lacking | Goal distractions |
|---|---|---|
| Variation in processes, quality, and in the outcomes produced across the entire team. | Lacking time, resources, quality, capacity, funding, likely due to process inefficiencies. | Distractions force pathway and sequence changes to actions which delay goal achievement. |
| Inadequate advice | Indecision | Cognitive dissonance |
|---|---|---|
| Inadequate counsel from experts who may have based advice upon past “worst-case” experiences. | Indecision when choosing among competing priorities that wastes time and opportunity. | Cognitive conflict because of inadequate understanding of “why” and “what” is needed. |
| Uncontrolled results | Chaos | Turnover |
|---|---|---|
| Uncontrolled processes that make tracking performance and reporting metrics difficult. | Chaos in improving and implementing processes over multiple clients. | Turnover (employees, mentors, counselors, managers) creating disruptions. |
