Thisassessment offers a playful,quick,and indicative approach toevaluating your company’s level of sovereignty with regard to its strategicassets, value chain, and capacity for influence. It helps identify:critical areas of dependency, ••initial levers for resilience and autonomy,•potential priority actions. This assessment does not replace an in-depth analysis conducted using astructured methodology,such as the one developed by Roland Berger,which enables a detailed evaluation of dependencies, systemic risks, andthe transformation pathways to be implemented. Response format For each question, choose the answer that best reflects your company’s current situation A.High dependency, critical exposure(= 0 point)B.Significant dependency, partial control(= 1 point)C.Limited dependency, operational control(=3points)D.Low dependency, sovereign control(=5 points) Then add up the scores obtained across all questions to obtain your overallscore out of100.

Innovation & R&D Q7.How are innovation priorities defined? How is technology scouting organized? A.Priorities dictated by partners or funders; opportunistic or non-existenttechnology scouting[0 POINT]B.Shared governance; partial technology scouting (trade shows, suppliers, weaksignals)[1 POINT]C.Internal governance; structured technology scouting (roadmaps, benchmarks,identified owners)[3 POINTS]D.Internal governance; technology scouting and R&D innovation integrated intoExecutive Committee priorities[5 POINTS] Q8.Are the technologies developed contractually protected?
