VOX - Vital Organization Exam

The VOX methodology creates both a detailed diagnostic review and a treatment plan for correcting organizational issues. In the dynamic economic conditions we now live with, it is now more important than ever that your SMO learn to adapt to thrive. Step 1’s Vital Organization Exam is both the checkup and the prescription for developing, regaining and retaining your SMO’s vitality.

Develop -- Regain -- Retain Organizational Vitality

Small-to-midsized organizations (SMOs), whether for profit or non-profit, are typically more sensitive to changes in general economic conditions and find that establishing and auditing goals and objectives is the mission critical imperative they must contend with, including cash flow issues, retaining top talent and “staying the course” of their strategic plans and objectives. Trying to respond to (or get ahead of) such circumstances can sap the vitality of any organization—SMOs in particular. The resulting organizational challenges only increase vulnerabilities and the likelihood of eventual failure.

Step 1 knows how to reveal the root causes of your organization’s declining performance. We’ve developed a project methodology designed to diagnose the problems, not just identify the symptoms. This approach is called VOX: Vital Organization Exam. The VOX engagement assesses the overall capacity of an SMO to develop, regain or retain the vitality necessary to thrive. VOX evaluates the following areas:

Viable Strategy – does the SMO have a clearly defined, viable strategic plan that focuses on pragmatic objectives that support long-term vitality?
Accountable Culture – does the SMO practice accountability at all levels of the entity?
Expansion/Attrition Readiness – does the SMO have adequate documentation of processes, procedures, specifications, etc. to successfully manage expansion or withstand key resource attrition?
Management Alignment – does the SMO have the right resources managing the right functions to insure maximum productive performance?

The Result: Your SMO will get back on track as a vigorous market player.
