THE 7 Categories for Organizational Performance Excellence
How good are you and how do you know?
Most organizations will tell you that they do a good job of serving their customers, but by what standards and measures do they base those views? Most will tell you that they have goals and measures and may even say that they regularly review their results. But to what level of review do they hold themselves accountable? How good are they, and how do they know?
Based upon the national Malcolm Baldrige process, this session will provide you with the tools to answer those questions and a practical way to return to your organization and begin to assess both your organizational strengths and gaps where performance could be optimized.
Are you asking the right questions to assess your organization in these seven critical areas?
Come prepared to explore your organization’s performance in these seven areas and learn how to take your knowledge of each to a deeper level of understanding to elevate your results.
Consulting
Nancy serves as a trusted advisor and consultant to organizations seeking to strengthen their accountability culture. Organizational culture exists at all levels of the organization and most organizations have gaps at various levels that can be enhanced to improve both organizational and individual performance and results. Consulting engagements are customized based upon the needs of the organization.
Coaching
As a Certified Coach of Leaders, we use a one-on-one coaching process to work with employees seeking to improve their effectiveness within the organization. Organizational leaders will benefit from discovering opportunities to not only enhance their work, but also their working relationships with others. Learning how to establish and clearly communicate expectations and goals for those you lead earns respect and increased productivity from them. Additionally, a value-added component to coaching can include individual or group work developing enhanced presentation skills to make your point with impact. Coaching sessions are individually customized to ensure maximum results for the client.
Group Facilitation
Every organization needs to hear the voice of its internal and external customers and key stakeholders to ensure all critical partners are delivering and/or receiving high service levels and superior customer satisfaction. It is often helpful for a third party to facilitate such group input and focus sessions to gather feedback for clients to ensure relevant and specific information is captured and provided to organizational leaders. These sessions are customized to address the specific feedback and input being sought.
