An external review can assist the board and/or CEO to ascertain where improvements are needed to realize the organization’s purpose and potential. Reviewing organizations requires a macro understanding of what enables organizations to produce results in their operating environment. This foundation knowledge must be integrated with a deep understanding of how people interact with the structure and systems they need for success to produce insights that will improve performance. Reviews should strive to make complex things clear, to discover breakthroughs in understanding and to identify how implementation can best produce results. Reviews must validate people’s opinions with evidence checks. Reviews can be conducted to different degrees, depending on the outcomes required. They can cover the whole organization or part thereof and be a powerful tool to facilitate change and liberate ideas and energy within the organization. To meet the exact needs of the client a pre review process is required to scope the exercise and develop an appropriate methodology. Executing the recommendations arising from the review is a critical part of the process and involves preparing those who will lead change. |
