Organizational Management Analysis

The Organizational Management Analysis (OMA) is an essential element of organizational development. The OMA is designed to summarize the information from all of the CheckPoint 360 individual feedback reports generated on the group selected. The individual feedback reports identified the Managers strengths and areas needing improvement. The OMA report provides a factual summary of the perceptions of a management group with input from the manager's bosses, peers and direct reports.

Mapping Your Organization's Path To A Prosperous Future

The value of the Organizational Management Analysis is in providing a description of where are we now. This has been described as "the fifth point of the compass". The "fifth point" concept means successful management decisions regarding the direction to take a company must be predicated on knowing where you stand now. False assumptions often lead to wasting time, effort, and resources. The OMA report is a guide to future development based on statistically accurate data. When you know where you are and where you want to go, you can chart your course with confidence and certainty.

The Organizational Management Analysis process examines a company's culture and provides insights to the alignment of management groups with the company's goals and objectives. This information is used to analyze the human capital aspects associated with an organization's long-term strategic objectives. The report also provides an analysis of organizational development priorities and defines organizational training needs.

Ask Yourself These Questions:

  • Would you like to create a baseline measurement against which to track progress in organizational development activities?

  • Do your managers and employees share your vision, mission, and values for organizational success?

  • Do you have a system to measure/quantify management effectiveness?

  • Are your internal management practices in alignment with achievement of organizational goals or is there a negative correlation?

  • Do the behavioral skills of supervisors contribute to a positive synergistic impact on performance for your company?

  • Are you settling for too little productivity from your management team thus creating a negative profit impact?

If you've answered yes to any of these questions, the Organizational Management Analysis can help.

Take the First Step:

CheckPoint 360 Competency Feedback System is a professional development tool which measures skills that positively impact a Manager's growth. It measures a manager's competencies, which are verified from a variety of perspectives, and pinpoints ways to enhance skills. CheckPoint is an ongoing process that can be utilized at key intervals to monitor performance. It assesses professional development by measuring 70 factors in eight performance areas crucial to effective job performance.

The leadership skills of Managers are typically appraised by three different rating groups: their Boss(es), their Direct Reports, and their Peers. The Organizational Management Analysis contains an executive level summary of the information presented to those Managers.

The CheckPoint SkillBuilder Series™

Skill Builder has 18 modules corresponding to the Skill Sets that are measured in the Checkpoint 360 report. These modules provide questions and online exercises as well as guidance for the utilization of a coach or mentor. In many cases the depth of SkillBuilder is such that no further training intervention is necessary to effect the suggested behavior changes. Ask your Checkpoint Administrator for more details on SkillBuilder modules.
