Increasing Effectiveness

It is often useful to bring in an impartial and fresh perspective to look at a situation or how part of or the entire organisation is working.

Our quick-to-use  Diagnostic Check for a Healthy Organisation can help you see where performance is not meeting your standards:

 Is There A Strong Set-Up?

1. Is it clear what’s going well and what isn’t?
2. Are the Board/Committee and senior managers working well together?
3. Are you getting the right people?
4. When things go wrong are they sorted out quickly and learned from? 

Are Things Improving & Changing?

1. Is what’s succeeding spreading?
2. Are your people growing in confidence and assertiveness?
3. Is change thought about in depth and managed well?
4. Are new policies taken on smoothly?

Are People Working Effectively?

1. Are key people clear on their roles?
2. Are teams well-led and supported?
3. Is everyone focussed on the customer, user or client?
4. Do staff feel that they are developing in their job and achieving something which is important to them?

Are People Thinking, Planning, Reviewing?

1. Is there thinking time – is it used effectively?
2. Are people planning well?
3. Is it easy to assess performance?
4. Is the organisation’s direction clear?

Are You Getting The Right Results?
