Organizational Assessment

Shackleton Group helps you do what you do better by focusing on two critical aspects of performance improvement: 1) Doing only what’s in the absolute best interest of the organization, and 2) leveraging a deliberate, streamlined, and proven approach that’s successful in extremely dynamic environments. We call it Corporate Maneuver Warfare®.

The foundation of our approach is an objective and collaborative assessment of your organization. Our extensive combined Marine Corps and corporate experience developing organizations helps you stay ahead of the competition and can increase your bottom line by being as effective in business as the Marine Corps is on the battlefield. We use the assessment as a baseline for providing rapid and relevant recommendations to help your team become the architects of their own solutions. Our collaborative approach yields immediate results by leveraging a powerful combination of our experience, and your harnessing of the single most competitive advantage in the marketplace: the focused, collective power of your people.

Executive Summary

A typical starting point for Organizational & Professional Development (O&PD) initiatives, our assessment reveals how and where an organization needs to adjust, laying the groundwork for an Organizational Development Strategy tailored to your organization’s unique characteristics and the results you want to achieve. The assessment draws on two sources of data; individual and confidential interviews with ten team members representing a cross-section of roles within the organization, and an online survey provided to other members of the organization at large.

What We Assess

Our assessment is designed to target specific, tangible, and relevant characteristics of your organization: Is your strategy traceable down to the lowest levels? Is your structure product & service-oriented and does it support your strategy? Do the roles, responsibilities and relationships support your structure, and are they clearly understood? Does the organization have the capabilities it needs, and how does it develop those capabilities? Does organizational behavior support your strategy and the structure as intended? Do criteria and capability requirements for leadership exist at all levels in the organization, and are they clearly understood?

The goal is to help you define what you need to do to achieve the results you are seeking.
