The benefits of a comprehensive organizational assessment are to guide leadership in determining the extent of your organization's strategic alignment with your stated vision and goals. Most organizations fail not because of their response to the external environment, but because of their failure to address internal conflicts and obstacles. Confidential interviews with key members of the Board, executive team and other key stakeholders are a must and form the basis for a successful organizational assessment. An outside unbiased facilitator should be engaged to perform an independent review of board motivation and engagement, governance structure, measurement of programs/services outcomes and other key strategic initiatives. A full written report should be provided to guide the board and executive leadership to make any necessary adjustments. The assessment process will include asking:
Is there a clearly articulated vision and is the organization strategically aligned to achieve this vision?
How effective is the board? How motivated and engaged are they? Do they evaluate their own performance?
How effective is executive leadership?
Are the top achievements effectively communicated to stakeholders?
What obstacles are there to developing governance best practices?
How does the Board measure success?
What is the image/brand in the community?
What success has been achieved in fundraising?
