Welcome to the Universalia-IDRC
web based self diagnostic tool.
The purpose of this exercise is for you to rate your own organization’s capabilities on a set of selected factors that influence performance.
The purpose is two fold: first, to consider where you should be focusing effort on trying to improve your performance based upon your own review, and second to have an opportunity to compare your ratings (benchmark) against those of the rest of the group at Universalia-IDRC.
Please note: If you work for a particularly large or fragmented organization, it might not make sense to try and answer on behalf of the whole organization. In such cases please answer on behalf of the organizational unit in which you work.
Confidentiality: Your data will be confidential! Only you will be able to identify your own organization’s data and that of the overall group. You will not be able to identify any of the other organizations, Nor will they be able to identify you!
What happens after completing the assessment?
Upon the completion of the diagnostic assessment you will receive a summary report via email, so it is important to ensure that you correctly fill in your email address. The results will give you an overview of where your organization is now and establishes what areas would be most useful for you and your individual situation to focus on. There will be a discussion of results done in the Friday session.
Assignment:
If time permits before Friday’s course, we would like you to review your Organizational Assessment and compare it to that of the rest of the group. This should allow you to identify comparative strengths and weaknesses, and to see how you rate in comparison to the class ratings. We will speculate on the tools use as a diagnostic tool and discuss how it would be part of an evaluation.
