The PRISM Process - Assessment

Assessment

Where is the organization now?

The assessment component of the PRISM Process™ provides understanding of the current business situation by taking an "organizational snapshot".

Needs Assessment provides information from a qualitative and quantitative perspective that identifies real issues for future focus and provides a benchmark for tracking the improvement in the issues that have been identified.

Assessment involves paper and pencil surveys, focus groups, one-on-one interviews and can culminate in an exhaustive report that can be provided by office, state, or region that encompasses the chosen demographic slices.

PRISM works with organizations by gathering and presenting the information, with analysis and recommended courses of action to senior groups. We also assist in building a communication plan for sharing the results with shareholders and stakeholders.
