Role What best describes your reason for taking this assessment * --- Select Choice --- We are growing and need a clearer management system We are facing repeated operational delays or performance issues Decision making is slower or less clear than it should be Teams are working hard, but results are not improving enough We are preparing for change, restructuring, or expansion We want an external view of our institutional readiness We are not sure where the real problem starts Briefly describe the situation that made this assessment relevant now Share the main challenge, pressure, opportunity, or concern that made you seek an initial readiness review Direction, Priorities, and Real Growth This section explores whether the organization is moving with clear priorities, measurable progress, and real growth rather than activity alone When your organization sets priorities, what usually happens next * --- Select Choice --- Priorities are translated into clear actions, owners, and timelines Priorities are announced, but execution depends on personal follow up Several priorities compete at the same time without clear sequencing Teams understand the general direction, but not the practical next steps Priorities change frequently because urgent issues take over Which statement best describes the difference between activity and progress in your organization * --- Select Choice --- We can clearly distinguish between being busy and achieving meaningful results We track activities more than outcomes There is significant effort, but the impact is not always visible Success is often measured by completion of tasks rather than improvement of results Different teams define progress in different ways When performance does not improve despite effort, what is the most common explanation internally * --- Select Choice --- The root causes are investigated before action is taken The issue is usually linked to people not doing enough The issue is usually linked to lack of resources The issue is discussed repeatedly, but without a clear corrective path Different leaders interpret the cause differently How are long term goals usually connected to daily work * --- Select Choice --- Daily work is clearly connected to strategic goals and measurable priorities The connection exists, but it is not always visible to teams Managers understand the connection more than frontline teams Daily work is mostly driven by urgent tasks and immediate demands Long term goals are discussed separately from daily operations When a new initiative is launched, what usually determines whether it succeeds * --- Select Choice --- Clear ownership, disciplined follow up, and alignment with priorities The personal energy of the leader responsible for it Availability of budget or external support How much attention senior leadership gives it at the beginning It often starts well but loses momentum over time Governance, Decision Quality, and Accountability This section explores how decisions are made, followed up, and translated into clear responsibility and accountability When a major decision is delayed, what is usually the closest reason * --- Select Choice --- The decision owner is clear, but required information is incomplete Several people must approve, but the criteria are not clear The issue is escalated because ownership is uncertain There is concern about who will be accountable if the decision fails Major decisions are usually made on time with clear ownership and criteria When responsibilities overlap between teams, what usually happens * --- Select Choice --- The overlap is resolved through clear roles and agreed escalation paths Teams negotiate informally until work moves forward The strongest or most active team usually takes control Work slows down because no one is sure who owns the final outcome The issue returns repeatedly because the root ownership problem is not fixed When a mistake or failure occurs, what is the most common reaction * --- Select Choice --- The process is reviewed to understand why the failure happened The responsible person is identified before the system is reviewed The issue is corrected quickly, but the underlying cause often remains People become cautious because accountability feels personal or risky The same type of failure appears again in different forms How are important decisions usually documented and followed up * --- Select Choice --- Decisions include clear rationale, owners, timelines, and follow up points Decisions are documented, but follow up depends on individual discipline Decisions are communicated verbally more than formally documented Teams remember the decision, but not always the reason behind it Follow up happens when problems appear, not as part of a regular system When leadership changes direction, how does the organization usually respond * --- Select Choice --- The change is translated into updated priorities, roles, and communication Teams adjust gradually, but some confusion appears during transition People wait for more clarification before acting Different units interpret the new direction differently Work continues mostly as before until pressure increases Execution, Operations, and Institutional Discipline This section explores how the organization executes work, handles pressure, follows up, and prevents repeated operational problems When work pressure increases, what usually happens inside the organization * --- Select Choice --- Priorities are adjusted clearly and resources are redirected accordingly Teams work harder, but coordination becomes more difficult Urgent tasks take over and planned work is delayed Managers solve issues personally to keep things moving Quality, timing, or communication usually suffers under pressure When a project or initiative falls behind schedule, what is usually the main reason * --- Select Choice --- Risks were identified, but mitigation was not strong enough Requirements or expectations changed during execution Coordination between teams was slower than expected Ownership and follow up were not consistent enough Delays are common because planning is weaker than execution needs How does the organization usually know whether work is on track * --- Select Choice --- Progress is monitored through clear indicators and regular review points Managers rely on updates from teams when needed Progress becomes visible mainly when deadlines approach Problems are noticed after delays or complaints appear Different teams use different ways to judge progress When the same operational problem appears more than once, what usually happens * --- Select Choice --- The process is redesigned so the problem does not repeat The issue is solved each time, but the process remains mostly the same A temporary workaround is used until pressure decreases The problem is accepted as part of normal work People know the problem exists, but no one owns the permanent fix Which statement best describes internal coordination * --- Select Choice --- Coordination is structured, timely, and linked to shared priorities Coordination works well when relationships between people are strong Coordination depends heavily on meetings and personal follow up Teams communicate, but not always early enough to prevent problems Each unit tends to focus on its own work before shared outcomes People, Culture, and Leadership Signals This section explores how people, teams, and leaders respond to unclear priorities, repeated problems, workload pressure, and collaboration challenges When teams face unclear priorities, what usually happens * --- Select Choice --- Leaders quickly clarify direction and adjust responsibilities Teams continue working based on their own interpretation People wait for instructions before taking action The most active individuals push the work forward informally Confusion remains until pressure or deadlines force action When employees notice a repeated problem, how likely are they to raise it early * --- Select Choice --- They usually raise it early through clear and safe channels They raise it if they believe management will respond seriously They mention it informally, but it may not reach decision makers They avoid raising it because it may create personal friction Problems are usually raised only after they become urgent When strong performers carry more than their fair share of work, what usually happens * --- Select Choice --- Workload is reviewed and redistributed through a clear system Their effort is appreciated, but the workload pattern continues They become the default solution for difficult or urgent work Other team members depend on them without structural correction The organization risks losing them because pressure becomes personal How does leadership usually respond when results are below expectations * --- Select Choice --- Leaders examine system causes before assigning corrective actions Leaders increase follow up and pressure on responsible teams Leaders request more reporting to understand what happened Leaders focus on immediate recovery more than long term correction Different leaders respond differently depending on the situation Which statement best describes internal trust and collaboration * --- Select Choice --- Teams share information early because common outcomes are clear Collaboration works well when leaders are directly involved Teams cooperate, but protect their own priorities first Information is sometimes delayed because people fear criticism or blame Trust depends more on personal relationships than institutional practice Change, Adaptability, and Future Readiness This section explores how the organization communicates change, manages resistance, learns from initiatives, and prepares for future growth When a major change is introduced, what usually happens first * --- Select Choice --- The reason, impact, roles, and expected outcomes are communicated clearly The change is announced, but practical implications become clear later Teams understand the idea, but not how it affects their daily work People wait to see whether leadership will sustain the change Initial interest appears, then momentum decreases over time When people resist a new direction, what is usually the main reason * --- Select Choice --- They understand the change, but disagree with its expected value They do not see how the change connects to real organizational needs They fear additional workload without enough support They lack trust that the change will be sustained fairly Resistance is not openly discussed, but appears through slow execution How does the organization usually learn from previous initiatives * --- Select Choice --- Lessons are captured and used to improve future decisions and execution Lessons are discussed, but not always translated into new practices Learning depends on the individuals involved in each initiative The organization moves to the next initiative before reviewing the last one Similar mistakes appear across different initiatives When external conditions change, how does the organization usually respond * --- Select Choice --- It reassesses priorities and adjusts plans through a clear process It responds quickly, but mostly through leadership intervention It adapts gradually after the pressure becomes visible Different units respond in different ways The response is often reactive rather than prepared Which statement best describes the organization’s readiness for the next stage of growth or transformation * --- Select Choice --- The organization has enough clarity, discipline, and leadership capacity to move forward The ambition is clear, but internal systems need strengthening first Growth is possible, but current workload and coordination may limit progress The organization needs to fix repeated internal issues before expanding There is uncertainty about what should be strengthened first Management Systems, Quality, and Methodology Maturity This section explores whether the organization uses structured management, quality, excellence, improvement, or change methodologies Which management or excellence framework is currently used or referenced in your organization * --- Select Choice --- EFQM Excellence Model ISO 9001 Quality Management System Balanced Scorecard OKRs or KPI based performance management Lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methods A customized internal management framework We use some tools, but not as a formal system No clear management or excellence framework is currently used Other framework — please specify If other, please specify the framework When quality or performance issues appear, how are they usually addressed * --- Select Choice --- Through a structured root cause analysis and documented corrective action Through management discussion and direct follow up with responsible teams By fixing the immediate issue first, then reviewing causes if time allows By increasing supervision or reporting until the issue improves The response depends on the manager or department involved Which approach best describes how change or transformation is managed * --- Select Choice --- A recognized change methodology such as Kotter, ADKAR, or similar is used A consulting or internal methodology is used, but not consistently across all changes Change is managed mainly through leadership direction and communication Each change initiative is handled differently depending on the team involved There is no clear change management methodology currently in use If your organization uses or prefers a change methodology, which one is closest * --- Select Choice --- Kotter 8 Step Change Model Prosci ADKAR Model McKinsey 7S based transformation thinking Lean change or continuous improvement approach Amjad-Tracee Change Management Model A customized internal methodology Other methodology — please specify No specific methodology is currently used If other, please specify the change methodology When improvement initiatives are completed, what usually happens to the lessons learned * --- Select Choice --- Lessons are documented, reviewed, and integrated into future practices Lessons are discussed, but not always converted into a repeatable system Learning remains mostly with the people who participated in the initiative The organization moves to the next priority before lessons are captured Similar improvement efforts often repeat the same issues Which statement best describes your organization’s current management system * --- Select Choice --- There is a clear system connecting strategy, governance, operations, people, and performance Some parts of the system are strong, but they are not fully connected There are useful procedures and tools, but they depend heavily on people to work well The organization has many activities, but the management system is not yet mature There is no clear integrated management system at this stage Data Readiness and Decision Intelligence This section explores whether the organization has reliable data, clear ownership, useful reporting, and decision intelligence that supports performance, improvement, and future AI adoption How available is the data needed to understand performance and support decisions * --- Select Choice --- Relevant data is available, accessible, and used to support decisions Useful data exists, but access or consistency varies across units Data is available, but often scattered across files, systems, or individuals Important data is missing, delayed, or difficult to access when needed There is no clear data foundation for decision making at this stage How reliable is the organization’s data for analysis and reporting * --- Select Choice --- Data is generally accurate, updated, consistent, and trusted Data is useful, but quality issues appear in selected areas Data quality varies significantly across departments or systems Data is often questioned, corrected manually, or difficult to validate Data reliability is a major limitation for reporting and decisions How clear is data ownership and accountability * --- Select Choice --- Data ownership, review responsibility, and approval are clearly defined Some data owners are known, but responsibilities are not fully consistent Data ownership depends on department practice or individual knowledge It is often unclear who owns, validates, or approves important data There is no clear data ownership or governance at this stage How are data and reports used in decision making * --- Select Choice --- Decisions are regularly supported by reliable data, analysis, and performance insight Data is used in many decisions, but judgment and experience still dominate some areas Reports are available, but they do not always lead to clear action Decisions often rely more on personal judgment than structured data Data is rarely used in a systematic way to support decisions How useful are current reports and dashboards for understanding real progress * --- Select Choice --- Reports provide meaningful insight into outcomes, risks, trends, and improvement priorities Reports are useful, but they need stronger connection to decisions and actions Reports focus more on activities and outputs than real outcomes or impact Reports are produced, but they are not consistently used to guide improvement Reporting is limited, fragmented, or not useful for decision making AI Readiness and Responsible Adoption This section explores whether the organization is prepared to use artificial intelligence in a practical, responsible, and governed way that supports institutional priorities and future readiness When your organization considers using AI, what usually happens first * --- Select Choice --- Clear use cases are identified and linked to business or institutional priorities Interest exists, but use cases are still general or experimental Teams use AI tools individually without a shared direction AI is discussed mainly as a trend, not as part of a practical operating model There is little current discussion about AI use How are data limitations considered before using AI outputs * --- Select Choice --- Data quality, source reliability, and limitations are considered before AI outputs are used Some data limitations are considered, but not through a consistent process AI outputs may be used even when data quality or source reliability is uncertain People are interested in AI, but data readiness is not always reviewed first There is no clear practice for assessing data limitations before using AI How is AI use governed or controlled * --- Select Choice --- There are clear guidelines for privacy, accuracy, human review, and responsible use Some informal controls exist, but no complete AI governance approach Teams decide individually how to use AI tools There is concern about AI risk, but no clear guidance AI use is not governed at this stage How prepared are people to adopt AI in daily work * --- Select Choice --- Employees are being trained and encouraged to use AI responsibly Some employees use AI, but skills and confidence vary AI use depends on personal interest and individual experimentation Employees are uncertain or concerned about AI’s impact on their work There is little readiness for AI adoption at this stage How integrated is AI into workflows and decision processes * --- Select Choice --- AI is being connected to selected workflows, analysis, or service improvement AI is used in some tasks, but not yet integrated into formal processes AI use is mostly individual and informal AI outputs are used without consistent review or validation AI is not meaningfully integrated into work processes
