VRI: The Vulnerability and Risk Index™

The Boomer Capital VRI™ is a unique tool that assesses an organization’s actual degree of leadership vulnerability and threat as perceived by the inside knowledge of the executives themselves. The Boomer Capital VRI™ is a secure, stand alone, third-party site that accepts the index data from individuals, interprets and sorts it, and provides aggregated summary reports to the client organization, sorted by geography, business unit, function, or other unique slices of the organization that need to be examined. The result is a profile that identifies the size and nature of any potential leadership gap triggered by this historic demographic shift. Individual input is only identified by organization, not individuals, and always resides in the Boomer Capital Vault, an independent site.

The VRI is only meaningful to the extent that our clients use the intelligence to develop specific strategies and programs to address their own individual leadership gaps. Following the VRI stage, Boomer Capital offers consulting resources to advise in the development of:

Strategy identification and development, based on the feedback and insights gained from the VRI.

Implementation programs to support the incorporation of Boomer wisdom contributors into the organization, including insights into “de-jobbing” and implementing the cultural transition needed to support these changes.

Short On Strategy?
Industry Week reports that, "Most companies do not have a plan to manage and transfer knowledge and even fewer factor cross-generational challenges into business strategy, says a recent report from The Conference Board."
