"If you continue to look to the past, the future will pass you by." Does it sometimes seem like you are hard-pressed to keep track of everything that is going on in your company? What are you doing well? Where can you improve? Are your employees happy and productive? Is your leadership aligned with your strategy...is everyone going in the same direction???—John A. Zenkewich Like a mechanical analysis and tuning of your automobile improves performance, organizational assessments enable you to get more out of your company’s existing resources. You can improve overall performance, enhance individual capabilities, and better serve your customers. At AdVantage Consulting, we offer various assessments to provide leaders insight on their organization’s unique strengths, and on areas needing improvement. In addition to assessing what is needed to improve, assessments can also be used to discern an organization’s readiness for change. This is critical information needed for shaping your change process and transition plans. Using interviews, observations, and survey data, we will assess the overall performance and health of your organization, as well as your leadership's effectiveness. By analyzing the stories we hear, what we see in meetings, and quantitative survey data, we will provide you with actionable recommendations regarding the use of such things as leadership style, culture, and structure to enable the successful execution of your business strategy. The Assessments: Employee Focused Assessments: Insight will be provided into the employee point of view and company leadership style. Capability Focused Assessments: Does your strategy align with your strengths? We will examine your overall strategy, and help you identify areas of significant capability, as well as areas where gaps exist. Business Assessments: Is your company all it can be? This category of assessment focuses on business performance. Learning Organization Assessments: How does your company learn and renew itself? The degree to which organizations learn is a key determinant of their abilities to transform themselves when faced with demands for fast and fundamental change. We will help you to purposefully build your capacity to learn as a whole system and weave that capability into all of your organizational components -- vision and strategy; leadership and management; culture; structure, and systems and processes. Cultural Assessments: Do you really know what your culture is? Is it aligned with your strategy? In order to be successful, culture and strategy must be in alignment. We will help you understand your culture as it relates to the execution of your strategy, and how to close any gaps. Using assessments to gain a thorough understanding of your organization's strengths and weaknesses will allow you to improve organizational performance. |
