Successful organizations are continually looking for ways and areas to improve in order to gain a competitive advantage. Two critical questions that are often asked by senior management are “How do we know that resources are being properly allocated, and how can we better utilize our limited resources?” These questions moved us to examine the whole issue of what are the critical elements which contribute to the organizational success. As a result of this examination, we discovered that when an organization’s systems and departments are aligned, the greater their success.
D.I.A.L.O.G. (Data Indicating Alignment of organizational Goals) is an organizational assessment tool that provides information as to how well critical elements are working together to achieve business and strategic goals. It also identifies which if these critical elements are working against you. Our approach is unique in that we measure the interrelationships of the essential elements which become predictors of future strength. We are not concerned with the measuring communication for communications sake, but rather how effectively is an organization communicating to its employees. Our approach is outcome focused rather simply measuring non-relevant activities.
