How do self-assessments work at Erfolgsucher?

A self-assessment is a valuable tool for determining the current status of the organization. It helps to recognize important strengths and identify areas in which improvements can be made. A thorough assessment is the basis for strategic decisions and future direction. In order to obtain a comprehensive picture, all relevant know-how carriers should be included in the self-assessment.

At Erfolgsucher, the self-assessments are detailed and based on the principles of business excellence practised by outstanding organizations. Participants complete questionnaires in which they share their perceptions, identify existing good practices and strengths and record ideas for improvement.

As a framework, we use the easy-to-understand “Success-Thread (5-STEPS-to-Excellence)” with 5 steps(5-STEPS-to-Excellence). This means that participants do not need any prior knowledge for the self-assessment. Each user also has access to a complete Business Excellence training course, as well as an AI chat function trained in Business Excellence.

The system does all the hard work for the team. It summarizes the results and creates valuable reports that lead to useful insights. This allows the team to focus on creativity and personal exchange.  

To maximize the benefits of the self-assessment, the Tour Guide adapts it to the specific goals and needs of the organization. The Tour Guide describes the context and objectives of the self-assessment, the relevant stakeholders and business processes that are critical to success. The Tour Guide should take about an hour to do this once. The technical adaptation process takes a maximum of 30 minutes. The result is individual inspiration for the team, which can work more efficiently as a result.

Self-assessment is and remains a challenging but rewarding task.
