Organizational Assessments:
Identifying the organizational barriers to Peak Performance®

SiloSmashers has conducted complex organizational assessments for many public and private sector enterprises. While these assessments can be complex, the questions we explore are basic.

• Does this organization need to change to achieve Peak Performance®?
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of its structure?
• What changes are needed?

Answering these questions demands a holistic approach

That’s because organizations are complex systems. They consist of multiple subsystems that all contribute to the success of the whole. Each has unique features, functions and modes of operating. Considered individually, some of these subsystems may pose weaknesses. But only when we examine all of them collectively can we effectively solve organizational performance problems.

Organization Performance Model

We have embodied our holistic approach in an Organization Performance Model.

Based on our proven experience, this model ensures that we view each organization as a single comprehensive system. It also helps our assessment teams clarify evident needs and detect obscure cause-and-effect relationships that contribute to inefficiency or ineffectiveness.

Specifically, the Operation Performance Model enables SiloSmashers to:

• Probe issues effectively
• Diagnose key areas for change
• Identify areas of strength within an organization
• Target areas that need improvement
