Assessments
George H. Labovitz is the father of modern alignment assessments that define Organizational Effectiveness. Alignment contributes to growth, stability, and profits. When companies are aligned it has been shown in more than 30 years of studies, they outperform their competitors on every measure.
If you are lucky enough to be someone’s employer, then you have a moral obligation to make sure people look forward to coming to work in the morning.
- John MacKey, CEO, Whole Foods Markets
Organizational Effectiveness
The concept of alignment is not new! It is one of the fundamental characteristics of business life that must be continually rediscovered. The approach used by Uvidi is based on Labovitz’ models and has been adapted for current business conditions.
What do we mean by ‘Alignment’?
The term ‘Alignment’ as used in the Uvidi assessments is the state that optimizes strategy, people, key processes, and systems and delivers value to customers and stakeholders. It is a tell-tale of the culture.
The central focus of alignment is its contribution to helping organizations align so that they can accomplish what needs to get done given the circumstances. No fancy words!
Base Model of Alignment
Companies facing today’s challenging business environment can raise the bar on performance by focusing on how effectively they execute strategy.
The assessment focuses on key capabilities (skills + capacity + will to act).
1. Must be able to rapidly deploy new strategies in keeping with changes in priorities
2. Must be able to concentrate enterprise-wide attention on customers
3. Must align and adapt core processes and systems under current circumstances
4. Engage, develop, train, and manage employees to foster innovation, creativity, productivity, and growth.
By focusing on alignment organizations can more effectively execute and capitalize on strategy.
Landscape for Results
Alignment is a constantly changing condition.
With an initial assessment, the company can establish a benchmark from which to grow and improve. The assessment provides a new context.
The results of Effectiveness Assessment will inform you of key areas that contribute to stellar performance and those that detract. The detractors are sources excessive operational costs or loss of productivity.
The old axiom ‘you can’t manage it if you can’t measure it’ fully applies. All areas that are measured are assessed so that management can modify the behaviors that create the results.
Simply knowing where your capabilities will make the difference is a start to raising the bar on performance. If you want to execute strategy, deliver on programs and projects, and operational objectives with more confidence, greater certainty, create better outcomes and raise the level of customer satisfaction, Uvidi can help!
