What is an Organisational Appraisal?

An Organisational Appraisal is a process which can look at an organisation and appraise it

in a given context. Some tools appraise an organisation in preparation of an award (for
example, EFQM, Business Excellence, Baldridge, Investors in People etc) others look at the
performance of an organisation in preparation for a buy-out/ buy-in, raising venture capital
etc.
The Business Improvement Review is an Organisational Appraisal tool with the purpose of
identifying developmental opportunities.
The Term Organisational Appraisal is the activity and the Business Improvement Review
(BIR) is a tool to deliver an appraisal.
The Business Improvement Review
The Business Improvement Review is a stand-alone organisational appraisal/ situational
assessment that allows you to find out how your current business stands as perceived by key
stakeholders associated with your business. It allows you and the management team, in one
quick and easy step, to determine:
How effective are your business systems?
How consistently are policies & procedures followed?
How effective are your leaders and what is their contribution?
How effectively are your strategies determined and implemented?
Are you effective in getting the best out of all your people?
How well do you look after all your resources & assets, not just the cash flow?
Are your processes truly customer friendly?
Do you monitor the views of your stakeholders, and what are they telling you?
Are your results as good as they should be?
When to Use the Business Improvement Review
The BIR can be used at any time to obtain a snapshot view of the state of the organisation.
The occasions when this might be useful include:
When the organisation seems to be going through a bad spell relative to its
competitors and need to identify areas where things are not going right
To assess the state of a poorly performing department or subsidiary
To assess the state of a high performance department or division to identify what they
are doing well and identify best practices that could be shared with the rest of the
organisation
As a basis for an on-going performance improvement initiative
To provide a standard tool for obtaining some information that can be used for
internal benchmarking or against other organisations, competitors, or partners
