Self Assessing Performance Maturity
Does your Office operate in a culture of continuous improvement? Are staff organized into improvement teams that continuously search for ways to add greater value to students and customers? Are measurements in place so that management is by fact rather than feelings?
Though our self-assessment can be taken by individuals, it has proven to be very accurate when taken as a team. We consistently hear from clients: pretty much sums up or Office. The tool is designed to asses your Office and place it on a five level index of performance maturity. Each level is characterized by indicators of maturity. By measuring the indicators we can provide you with a score and place your office on a dashboard.
Level #1. Uncertainty, characterized by:
- Few Measures of Performance
- Little Understanding of End-to-end Processes
- Limited Understanding of Customer Requirements
Level #2. Awakening, characterized by:
- Customer requirements are well understood and documented.
- End-to-end processes are designed around customer requirements.
- Performance measurements of critical business processes are established.
Level #3. Enlighten, characterized by:
