Key Benefits:
 Provides the CEO/Top Management with an efficient and comprehensive diagnostic scan of the organisation at all levels
 Identifies areas of potential greatest leverage for increasing organisational effectiveness as desired
 Indicates priorities for action to move/transform the organisation, which focuses and facilitates planning
 Provides an assessment of the organisation's readiness for change, and the adequacy of the organisation's leadership
and management to effect that change
 and, perhaps most significantly Enables the alignment of the organisation's strategy, culture and support systems
to the business reality confronting it.
The Organisational Scan is a key insight that informs the organisation of the array of challenges and tasks that lie ahead. This is
usually our first step in working with our client's companies, formally or informally as is appropriate to the situation.
It is a thorough diagnosis of your organisation's component systems that allows us to examine the external environment,
organisational strategy, culture, infrastructure and stakeholder expectations. The Organisational Scan is a systematic and proven
process for examining a company's external business environment and the company's conditions, processes and outputs at the
organisational, people and work level.
The Organisational Scan gathers current data on the organisational situation as perceived by its functions and people, for use in
decision-making by senior management. It clarifies organisational intent and direction, and captures information about the 'real
organisation's' alignment with that direction - its values and beliefs (espoused and actual) as well as factors that help and factors
that hinder desired performance. It also assesses the effectiveness of the organisation's infrastructure - systems, policies,
procedures and processes - in supporting the organisation's strategy.
Specific recommendations resulting from the Organisational Scan are based on systematic and systemic diagnosis - not best
guess, or organisational tradition or personal preference or what some vendor may have on the shelf that has worked elsewhere.
The arena of possible interventions is wide, and the selection of appropriate interventions and their optimum implementation
sequence is vital.

The Organisational Scan can have a primarily internal, external, or combined focus, depending upon specific need. The internal
scan looks primarily at the organisational entity, functioning within its business context. The external scan focuses more heavily
on constituencies and factors outside the organisation that significantly impact upon it (customers, suppliers, alliances, and
competitors).
