Assessment Essentials

“Self assessment is universal truth.”
-Unknown

Since any business can quickly seem overly complex, High Performance Advocates uses The Transformation Model, developed and taught by the organizational design experts at The Center for Organizational Design in Denver, CO.

The Transformation Model distills the complexity of any business into seven areas to assess.
They are:

  1. The Environment: Those things that you can not control that you must react to.
  2. The Results: The results is the results is the results! (Are you unhappy with the results you’re getting?)
  3. Strategy: What exactly is your plan, who knows it, and how is it communicated?
  4. Core Process: What steps do you take to deliver your product or service?
  5. Systems: …as in employee and organizational systems.
  6. Structure: Who does what. Who reports to who. How do you create authority?
  7. Culture: What is the flavor of your business? What is it like to be there? What is it like to do business with you?

In some businesses these elements are in alignment; in others they are out of alignment. (In others, they are a cacophonous mess!)

However, each of these seven elements exist in EVERY business–and they are completely interactive. You can not change one without affecting another. You can not ignore one without it affecting the rest. That is why we assess them all–so that as you start to make decisions about your business you can have the impact you want on each area.

At High Performance Advocates, we can help you to do a high-level overview, and then move directly into setting the goals and action steps you want, in the areas that you want to improve, in the order that you decide.

We want you to get the best results as fast as possible. We can facilitate the program, and you can custom build its delivery.

If change is on your “to do” list, let’s talk about exactly what it is that could change your organization and the lives of the people you touch -- from chaotic to good, good to great, or great to amazing!
