You can’t lead your organization anywhere important without first knowing where you are today. The starting point of change is a realistic assessment of present capabilities, competencies and organizational vigor. Knowing the ‘as is’ is critical, because the things you can see and measure you can improve. This is the value of a baseline; an assessment of your organizational reality from which progress, improvement and determined action can be undertaken.
Our assessments consist of a set of strategic level audits covering key areas of the business; we assemble foundational baselines in leadership, organizational competitiveness, asset management, customer and employee equity, competitive positioning and brand strength.
We deliver results through triangulation, a proven process to illuminate of strengths and weaknesses that can only come from an independent third party trained to uncover the critical success factors in your business.
