Running a business can be hard. Implementing change is also hard. Doing both at the same time would seem to be disastrous. Mistakes, errors, and unseen vulnerabilities are lurking. So, before taking on the challenge of improving a running business, you should “know the enemy<\/em>“\u2014what is the problem and how bad is it? Make better choices by seeing the “bigger” picture of what is going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you compare a VIA<\/strong><\/font>\u00b7Business assessment with other diagnostics, you’ll want to know if is worth your treasure, time and trouble:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vector Reports believes the answer is yes to all three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n We fully expect that you will receive the following savings from using the assessment diagnostic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The VIA<\/strong><\/font>\u00b7<\/font>Business assessment provides access to national-class level business consulting advice for a fraction of what that consultant would charge. In fact, for the equivalent cost of an hour or two of that consultant’s paid time, you will receive the complete assessment experience, a customized report regarding the business\u2019 current maturity state, an analysis of current capabilities, and up to four prioritized improvement recommendations. Obtaining a comparable package from a typical consultant could easily cost thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Additionally, the VIA<\/strong><\/font>\u00b7Business assessment helps you avoid the many costs of not knowing<\/em>. Busy leaders often react to the urgent things du jour<\/em>, instead of working on the important activities that build value. Leaders often say they don\u2019t have the time to work \u201con\u201d their business to improve, but with this assessment, they will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be completed in as little as 30 minutes when one individual is assessing the business entity. It takes a couple of hours when assessors consist of the business team. And when the team discusses each process to reveal a true current state, it level-sets everyone, and surfaces problems early (and that saves time, too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A VIA<\/strong><\/font>\u00b7Business assessment is fast. We believe there is no faster intake diagnostic available in the market that delivers this kind of value and accuracy!<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Typically, any assessment is only as good as the assessor\u2019s knowledge of the business being assessed. Consequently, by design, the VIA<\/strong><\/font>\u00b7Business assessment exposes the assessor, or the entire assessor team, to what they should know! And if they don\u2019t know it, the process allows them to stop, learn and begin again later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One can have confidence that the right vulnerability has been targeted to work on first\u2014this reduces false starts and waste of limited resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The assessment\u2014a virtual consulting process in itself\u2014informs and guides even before you read your report! And while there is a chance of lying, mistake or misunderstanding, the results can be verified by matching the reported maturity ratings with the evidence used to select those ratings. One option is to use the Notes feature and require assessors to provide documentation for their selected rating, thus creating an auditable process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our customers tell us that the assessment results are very accurate\u2014both revealing and guiding their next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, if you use the team approach to assess, it gets your team aligned on the same page faster with a shared understanding of the work to be done.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n ________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assessors\u2014either taking an assessment alone or in a group session with a team of process experts\u2014receive a valuable targeted report about their business:<\/p>\n\n\n\n ________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n ________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taking an assessment instructs business leaders, process holders, mentors, advisors, consultants, agencies, and others participating in the diagnostic that a business is an aggregation of processes that must all work in an aligned way for a business to succeed\u2014and reveals what to do if those processes are unbalanced or misaligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The VIA<\/strong><\/font>\u00b7Business assessment report concentrates attention where the business does not<\/em> do well<\/em><\/strong>, and may have discounted<\/em> or delayed<\/em>. It reveals inhibitors to success that must be changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, it helps you make a difference<\/strong>. It is your choice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, whether you use a VIA<\/strong><\/font>\u00b7Business diagnostic or not, we suggest you listen closely to what is actually going on inside your business as if it had a voice<\/em>. Ask yourself, “What is my business telling me that I am not listening to?<\/strong><\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n ________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n “This was enlightening in both a bad and good way … we learned we are the problem and we know what to do now!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n “Each of us knew our status, but we, as a team, did not.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We learned so much by this structured review.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We put ourselves to work!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Declared by team members in group assessment sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t have an Access Code<\/b> or an existing Vector Reports Email Account<\/b>, then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pricing information page – – – ><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
