In our example, “Help Recruit and Retain Talent”, “Develop Professional Skills”, and “Improve Problem Solving” have the most color. These are the areas where our hypothetical organization is demonstrating the most strength and thus can be used to help buffer the areas which are weaker. It is important, however, not to diminish these elements while working on improving the other areas of the wheel.  What element(s) of the wheel have the least color? These are the areas that make the wheel “flat”. In our example, “start new lines of operations” and “transfer best practices” are certainly
