Steps in the Assessment Process of Organizational Capacity
Preparation & Organization
At the heart of the implementation of a performance management system
is excellent preparation and organization. Preparation refers mainly to
the data you need to collect and the mechanisms or tools and processes
you will use to collect it. Organization refers mainly to who will collect the
data, when it will be collected and how it will be used.
To begin:
- create a group or committee to work on this process including
staff, volunteers and board members who would be interested in
improving the efficiency and effectiveness of your organization
- Collect and organize the information necessary, as this will save
you much time later. To assist you, a sample chart is included.
This can be modified to reflect the special circumstances of your
agency, and the types of information which you use now.
