Success isn’t just about having a great idea or reacting to market shifts—it’s about creating a business that thrives over time. Leaders today need to think beyond short-term wins and ensure they’re building something of unique value, (financially) sustainable and impactful.

At Sidekick, we know that long-term success comes from focusing on what you do best while driving meaningful impact. The 4P Assessment helps leaders take a step back and see the full picture—aligning strategy, operations, and purpose to create a business that not only performs today but continues to grow for the future.
What is the 4P Assessment?
The 4P Assessment is built on the foundation of the 4Ps of Entrepreneurial Design—a framework that helps businesses navigate complexity and growth by balancing:
🔹 Purpose – The core reason your business exists
🔹 Passion – The unique product-market fit that makes you stand out
🔹 Profit – The financial sustainability and operational efficiencies
🔹 People – The talent, leadership, and culture driving results
Rather than being a diagnostic tool that simply points out what’s wrong, the 4P Assessment is a development tool—helping you identify where to focus to create a well-rounded, thriving business.

When Should You Use It?
The 4P Assessment is useful in a variety of business scenarios, including:
✅ Navigating organizational change – Whether restructuring, entering new markets, or pivoting
✅ Launching a new business or product – Ensuring all critical elements are aligned from the start
✅ Creating alignment among leadership teams – Bringing different perspectives together for strategic clarity
✅ Tracking business progress – Measuring how priorities shift and evolve over time
Your business (or idea) is good, but something is holding you back from being great. The 4P Assessment helps you take a holistic look at your organization—uncovering the gaps, sharpening your focus, and giving you the clarity to move forward.
How to Use It Effectively
The real value of the 4P Assessment comes from the conversations and insights it sparks. Here’s how to integrate it into your business:
Assessment: Have your leadership team, partners, or key stakeholders complete the assessment independently.
Facilitated Discussion: Compare results, highlight areas of alignment and divergence, and explore what this means for your strategy.
Strategic Application: Use the findings to prioritize actions and focus on areas that need reinforcement.
Ongoing Check-Ins: Revisit the assessment periodically to track progress, measure balance, and adapt as needed.
Where Do I Start?
Once you’ve completed the 4P Assessment, the real work begins. Where are you outperforming? Where are the gaps? Maybe your purpose is clear, but your people are misaligned. Or your business model in theory works, but your passion—your unique market fit—needs refining.
This isn’t about fixing short-term problems; it’s about focusing on what matters most. The insights from this assessment give you a roadmap, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. If you’re looking to turn these insights into action, we’re here to help.
