A Tool To Improve Management Practices

Management Practices Improvement Diagnostic

From: Michael VanBruaene www.advancingyourorganization.com

We have developed a diagnostic tool that is an approach for assessing and improving management practices in your organization.

This improvement diagnostic tool that you can use, instead of hiring a consultant, provides a comprehensive approach for identifying the strengths and weaknesses of management practices; and then positioning you to make the correct improvements. It’s not a mechanistic tool with structured and restrictive scoring and responses. Management functions and performance are too complex and dynamic.

Below are the categories we use in our tool. To see and use the tool go to: http://www.advancingyourorganization.com/?page_id=1403
