Executive Organisational Diagnostic
Assess where your organisation stands. Know where to act first.
A clearly scoped, executive-level assessment that gives leadership an evidence-based view of how ready the organisation is to deliver its strategy, and a prioritised roadmap for what to do next. It is the natural starting point for working with RS Verity.
Who it is for
Designed for large organisations, public-sector entities and businesses undergoing strategic transformation, restructuring or governance enhancement, whose leadership wants an independent, evidence-based view before committing to major change.
What we assess
Up to three modules, each assessed across five dimensions:
PMO and Transformation
- strategy-to-execution linkage
- portfolio and prioritisation
- project delivery methodology
- performance management and KPIs
- executive reporting and decision-making
People and Culture
- organisation structure and roles
- operating model and processes
- talent and succession
- performance management
- culture and employee experience
Risk and Governance
- governance structure and committees
- risk framework and appetite
- risk identification and registers
- controls and compliance
- risk reporting and escalation
How maturity is rated
Each dimension is rated on a five-level scale, applied in the same way across all modules so results can be compared and re-measured over time:
- 1
Ad hoc
practices depend on individuals, little is documented and results vary
- 2
Emerging
some practices exist but are inconsistent across units
- 3
Defined
practices are documented, owned and applied in most of the organisation
- 4
Managed
practices are measured, reported to leadership and acted on
- 5
Optimised
practices are reviewed and improved routinely, and linked to strategy and outcomes
Every rating is evidence-based and cites the interviews, documents and data reviewed. The scorecard shows your current level, a target level agreed with your leadership, and the gap between them.
How it works
- 1
Mobilise and scope
We agree the scope, interviewees and timetable with your executive sponsor.
- 2
Document review
We review strategy documents, organisation charts, policies, and project and risk records.
- 3
Assess
We hold structured leadership interviews, a short staff survey and selected process walk-throughs.
- 4
Analyse and prioritise
We score each dimension, identify root causes and build a prioritised 12-month roadmap, validating drafts with your sponsor along the way.
- 5
Agree
A leadership workshop walks through the findings, agrees priorities and confirms owners and next steps.
