INSTITUTIONAL DIAGNOSTICS/DUE DILIGENCE: Learning before doing

ACCESS is a highly data-driven organization, and it employs diagnostic tools for each of the three main aspects of organizational development in order to develop customized solutions for its partners:

  • Governance: governance assessment, board performance appraisal
  • Human resources: staff performance appraisal and training needs assessment

In-depth consulting assignments are designed with our partners utilizing the strategy map and balanced scorecard framework developed by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton as a holistic diagnostic tool.
