Independent Review Process Items
Analyzing a Process Item The purpose of Process Items is to permit diagnosis of the organization’s most important processes — the ones that contribute most to organizational performance improvement and contribute to key outcomes or performance results.
“Importance” as a Scoring Consideration “A critical consideration in evaluation and feedback is the importance of…reported processes and results to key business factors. The areas of greatest importance should be identified in…[the] Organizational Profile and in Items such as 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 5.1, 5.2, and 6.1. …key customer requirements, competitive environment, workforce needs, key strategic objectives, and action plans are particularly important.” from Business/Nonprofit Criteria p. #64
Assessing Process Maturity “In the Baldrige Scoring System the process achievement level is based on four factors that can be assessed for each of an organization’s key processes: Approach, Deployment, Learning, and Integration.” From Glossary entry for Process
Assessing Process Maturity - Approach 0-5% NO SYSTEMATIC approach to Item requirements; information is ANECDOTAL 10-25% BEGINNING of a SYSTEMATIC approach to the BASIC requirements 30-45% An EFFECTIVE, SYSTEMATIC approach to the BASIC requirements 50-65% An EFFECTIVE SYSTEMATIC approach to the OVERALL requirements 70-85% An EFFECTIVE SYSTEMATIC approach to the MULTIPLE requirements 90-100% An EFFECTIVE SYSTEMATIC approach FULLY RESPONSIVE to the MULTIPLE requirements
Assessing Process Maturity - Deployment Deployment = extent to which an approach is applied in addressing the requirements of the Criteria; evaluated on the basis of breadth and depth of application. Deployment is process specific, i.e., when “areas” is used in the Scoring Guidelines they vary from Item to Item. Examples: Category 1 – departments, stakeholders, key processes Category 3 – customer segments or requirements Category 5 – workforce segments, locations, departments
Assessing Process Maturity - Deployment 0-5% LITTLE OR NO DEPLOYMENT ofANY systematic approach is evident 10-25% The approach is in the EARLY STAGES OF DEPLOYMENTin MOST AREAS OR WORK UNITS,inhibiting progress in achievingBASIC requirements 30-45% Approach IS DEPLOYED, although SOME AREAS OR WORK UNITS are in the EARLY STAGES OF DEPLOYMENT 50-65% Approach is WELL DEPLOYED although DEPLOYMENT MAY VARY in some areas or work units 70-85% Approach is WELL DEPLOYED,with NO SIGNIFICANT GAPS 90-100% Approach is FULLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT WEAKNESSES OR GAPS in ANY areas or work units
Assessing Process Maturity - Learning Learning = new knowledge or skills acquired through evaluation, study, experience and innovation. Criteria deal with two distinct kinds of learning: organizational and personal. Assessment of process maturity is concerned with organizational learning.
Assessing Process Maturity - Learning • There are three dimensions of organizational learning: • Continuous improvement of existing processes • Innovation leading to breakthrough changes • Knowledge sharing of such improvements and innovations
Assessing Process Maturity - Learning 0-5% An IMPROVEMENT ORIENTATIONIS NOT EVIDENT;improvement achieved through REACTING TO PROBLEMS 10-25% Early stages of a TRANSITION FROM REACTING TO PROBLEMS to a GENERAL IMPROVEMENT ORIENTATION are evident 30-45% BEGINNING OF A SYSTEMATIC approach to EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT of key processes is evident 50-65% FACT-BASED, SYSTEMATIC evaluation and improvement PROCESS and some ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING, INCLUDING INNOVATION, are in place for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of key processes 70-85% Fact-based, systematic evaluation and improvement and organizational learning including innovation ARE KEY MANAGEMENT TOOLS;there is CLEAR EVIDENCE OF REFINEMENT as a result of organizational-level analysis and sharing 90-100% Fact-based, systematic …THROUGH innovation are key ORGANIZATION-WIDE tools; refinement and innovation backed by analysis and sharing ARE EVIDENT THROUGHOUT the organization.
Assessing Process Maturity - Integration Integration = harmonization of plans, processes, information, resource decisions, actions, results, and analyses to support goals Effective integration goes beyond alignment and is achieved when individual components operate as a fully interconnected unit.
Assessing Process Maturity - Integration 0-5% NO organizational ALIGNMENT is evident;individual AREAS OR WORK UNITS OPERATEINDEPENDENTLY 10-25% Approach IS ALIGNED with other AREAS OR WORK UNITS largely through JOINT PROBLEM SOLVING 30-45% Approach is in the EARLY STAGES OF ALIGNMENT with BASIC ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS identified in the Org. Profile and other Process Items 50-65% Approach IS ALIGNED with ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS identified in Org. Profile and other Process Items 70-85% Approach IS INTEGRATED with organizational needs identified in Org. Profile and other Process Items 90-100% Approach IS WELL INTEGRATED with organizational needs identified in the Org. Profile and other Process Items
