Description of Services
We provide consulting services under the FSS MOBIS Schedule (Special Item Number 874-1). The services we offer are primarily focused in three important areas that deal with:
Standards
The standards for running an operation are not new they have been developed and refined over the past seventy-five years and they reflect the practices used by the best-run organizations throughout Government and industry.
Where do you find these standards? One of the best places is the Criteria for Performance Excellence used for making the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (www.quality.nist.gov/). These criteria serve as the standard for judging how well an operation is run. Many state and local award programs also use the Baldrige Criteria. And in Government, essentially the same criteria are used in the President s Quality Award Program (www.opm.gov/quality/index.htm)
A mistakes made by many organizations is to view the Baldrige Criteria, and all the derivatives, as award criteria rather than standards of excellence for running an organization. Many organizations have found that the criteria can serve as an excellent starting point for pinpointing what works well in their operation and where improvements may be needed. Used in this manner, the criteria can serve as a standard of excellence and the basis for an objective assessment of an operation a diagnostic.
Additional information on our approach to standards of excellence will be provided by contacting us at maginc@erols.com.
Measurement
In any organization there is a continuing need to determine what needs to be improved and what progress has been made in reaching performance targets. Volumes of material have been written on the subject the challenge now is to take what has been written and to put it into practice.
A very good source for getting started in this area is the recent report, Balancing Measures: Best Practices in Performance Management. This report is available at www.npr.gov/library/papers/bkgrd/balmeasure.html.
Other material that can be relevant to measuring the performance of an organization includes:
In our performance management work we focus on the integration of measurement systems within the framework of a total management system.
Management
This is another area that attracts continuing attention as a key factor in well-run operations. We focus our work in this area on three types of management challenges:
The tendency is to place most of the attention on the first type of management listed above the management of individual projects. But success in achieving most organizational strategic goals hinges on the other two management challenges the integration of on-going related projects and the management of those factors that must be changed for improvements to materialize and progress to be made.
We focus on all three types of management, with an emphasis on the integration and oversight of on-going projects as well as on change management.
