Company Fit is BRI Associates' assessment of how well a strategy hypothesis aligns with the sponsoring organization's Resources, Processes, and Priorities (RPP) — the attributes that determine what the organization can actually execute. It is the diagnostic behind the Implementation Approach dimension of the BRI Strategy Framework: a strategy can be desirable and feasible in the abstract yet still fail because the organization's resources, processes, and priorities are optimized for its core business and pull against the new venture. A poor Company Fit — an RPP mismatch — signals friction with the core business and real risk to implementation, well before execution begins.
Company Fit is assessed for every strategy hypothesis and feeds directly into the Viability judgment in the Desirability–Feasibility–Viability (DFV) evaluation, since a strategy the organization cannot coherently execute is not a viable one. It is operationalized in Growth Forge® Software as the Company Fit Risks tool. For the full treatment — the RPP archetypes, the mismatch patterns, and how to resolve them — see the RPP pillar at /supporting/rpp. Related Terminology Index entries: RPP; Ambidextrous Organization; Custom Governance; Implementation Approach; DFV.
