10-Step Process
10-Step Process
- Figure out the boundaries of the organization to be assessed
- Doesn't apply to us because we don't really have different departments yet. (Except for Aubrey from HR)
- Champions for each area
- Way cooler name for those of you involved
- Decide format & scope for self-assessment
- What exactly we are going to assess
- Senior leaders and champions (here you are again) prepare Organizational Profile for submission
- Organizational profile describes the organization and it's challenges & environment
- Common understanding of what is important
- System for improvement, strategic challenges
- Develop & implement an improvement plan
- Practice self-assessment with champions (Did I mention how important you are in this?)
- Use Item 1.1 Criteria for Performance Excellence (found here on page 7)
- Spot check to see if we are meeting our goals and staying on track
- Champions select category teams (the power of choice!)
- 3-5 enthusiastic team members (also champions, we wanted to call them warriors but Aubrey from HR nixed it) can be an employee from any level. Even the night security guy Kyle.
- May be someone from outside the organization - we already chose "The Mastermind," what's done is done.
- Read the criteria, gather data, write an analysis
- Explain how approaches should be used throughout the organization
- Share findings among teams, strengths & weaknesses
- Prioritize key strengths and areas to improve
- Develop and implement action plan in order to improve those areas found in step 8
- Who will lead each step, what is to be accomplished, progress dates, how progress will be measured
- Evaluate and improve your self-assessment and action process
That's the general idea anyway. Click here to go back.
