Rapid Assessment
Management consensus and support is vital for the success of any organizational initiative but especially when undertaking an enterprise-wide continual improvement journey. A Rapid Assessment establishes consensus about where your Leaders believe you are today against a selected Excellence Canada Standard, so you can map where you are going tomorrow.
A Rapid Assessment is a ½-day workshop with 6-8 selected senior and mid-management leaders, facilitated by an Excellence Canada Lead Assessor to establish the current state of your organization across specific key areas of focus.
Benefits:
- Create leadership team consensus about where the organization sits against a specific standard and level, the first step towards planning for implementation, certification, and subsequent market recognition
- Identify your organization’s key strengths and any key gaps or opportunities for improvement
- Build consensus on next steps and the path forward
Outcomes:
- A brief report summarizing key strengths and opportunities noted during the Rapid Assessment
- Recommended path forward for your organization with a high-level milestone plan
- Presentation of the report to senior management
- Level of organizational readiness to apply for certification and national recognition through the Canada Awards for Excellence program (if desired)
Note: The Rapid Assessment does not result directly in certification and award recognition but is an important strategic planning step
