Methodology
Donaldson Group uses a 5-step methodology in management engagements: Assess, Create, Implement, Measure and Improve. This methodology assures clients that engagements can be broken into phases, with definable tasks, anticipated outcomes, implementation plans, measurable activities and a continuous improvement process in place.
The Assessment phase is a first step to the recommendation of any needed for enhancements to existing plans, processes and materials used to support the process. The discoveries made in the assessment phase will drive the re-engineering effort beginning with the Create, Implement and Measure phases.
The Assessment phase is thorough and rapid. We do not subscribe to analysis paralysis. Typical Assessment Work Plans include some or all of the following areas
- People
- Process
- Technology
- Execution and activities
- Reward (compensation) and recognition
Assessments focus on defining the current state of organizations, skills, strategies, tactics, processes, technologies that support processes, data sources (internal and external) and activity levels in key functional areas.
