Organizational Assessment

Why conduct an assessment of your organization?  Public and private organizations are complex systems of interacting components. In order to properly gauge your organization’s performance and readiness for change, it is critical to engage in an assessment for immediate feedback and understanding of issues such as:

• Roles and responsibilities
• Work climate
• Group dynamics
• Training needs
• Culture and norms
• Team behavior
• Communications
• Work processes

About Organizational Assessment

Organizational Assessment is a systematic procedure to gather information about an organization, diagnose specific challenges, and develop ways to address them. Effective assessment should be seen as a window into the organization, providing insight into critical issues. It is the cornerstone of any transformation process, and provides the basis for determining how an organization will achieve its vision. Readiness for change is a proven and critical measure of success. Assessment is the first step in understanding the complexity of your organization and essential in measuring the conditions that are necessary for successful change. A thorough assessment will assist in developing an effective transformation plan.

At APCG, we believe in using a tailored approach toward assessment based on a variety of factors, including organizational needs, size, and resources available. Our consultants are skilled in using multiple information-gathering and analysis techniques, such as web-based questionnaires, interviews, focus groups, and gap analysis, in order to interpret organizational issues. The information gathered provides the organization with an understanding of its readiness for change, as well as the actions that will be necessary for successful transformation.
