Institutional & organizational assessment
1. Brief service summary
Examine an institution's organization against its missions, responsibilities and environment to prepare development priorities compatible with its mandate and operating constraints.
2. Your needs
Changes in missions, a transformation programme or coordination difficulties may require a shared understanding of institutional operations. You wish to distinguish mandate, governance, organization and resource questions before proposing changes.
3. Objectives of the engagement
The engagement aims to identify gaps between expected missions and observed operations, clarify interfaces and prioritize improvements. It prepares documented decisions without replacing competent authorities or bodies.
4. Indicative scope
The review may examine reference texts and documents, allocation of responsibilities, processes, resources and stakeholder relationships. It distinguishes institutional constraints from implementation difficulties. Observable results are assessed against agreed sources and criteria.
5. Possible delivery arrangements
Document review, authorized interviews, workshops and discussion of findings allowing responses may be used. Consultation arrangements, confidentiality and approval processes are defined with the sponsor before collection.
6. Possible deliverables
Deliverables may include a map of missions and responsibilities, operating analysis, a summary of coordination issues and development scenarios with prerequisites.
7. Conditions and limitations
The assessment is neither official control, inspection nor individual appraisal of staff. It presumes no previous group contracts with institutions. Proposals remain subject to decision-making powers, procedures and checks applicable to the organization concerned.
