How will a Best Practices Assessment help you?
- Are you launching or refining a major business process or function?
- Are you looking to benchmark performance against others who are ‘best in
class’?
- Do you have the expertise in-house to launch a new function and avoid costly
mistakes?
- Are you responsible for improving the effectiveness of a major business
function?
- Are you experiencing lower than expected performance or effectiveness?
If you are facing any of these issues, Mezzanine’s Best Practices Assessment
will deliver the information you need.
A Best Practices Assessment delivers data and insight on how leading
organizations have launched, manage and measure given functions. It will allow
you to learn lessons from others and achieve and demonstrate success faster. We
use a proven methodology to identify best-in-class organizations and evaluate
their approaches. Our tools include executive interviewing, industry benchmark
reporting, focus groups and quantitative data gathering. Best practices will
help you identify the requirements for success, avoid costly mistakes and
understand your performance relative to others.
Our Approach
A Best Practices Assessment involves 4 stages:
Stage One:
Collect relevant information about your initiative, function or process to
understand your objectives and requirements. If appropriate, gather internal
perceptions of your current level of performance.
Stage Two:
Identify companies that are best-in-class or have achieved success in similar
initiatives by leveraging a vast network of experts across diverse industries in
North America and globally.
Stage Three:
Conduct research through published sources including proprietary research
houses, industry associations and others to create a foundation of knowledge. We
then conduct interviews with key contributors at target organizations to
understand the specific ways they have achieved success.
Stage Four:
Synthesize and analyze findings to determine best practices. Prepare practical
recommendations on how to develop, launch and measure initiatives, including
setting expectations and developing a tactical implementation plan if
appropriate.
Benefits to Clients:
A Best Practices Assessment gives you immediate experience and expertise for
specific functions and major processes. You avoid “reinventing the wheel”. You
gain valuable insight to key success factors for some of the most accomplished
companies today. This knowledge helps you avoid costly mistakes, understand the
resource and time requirements for success, and set and achieve performance
goals.
