We are convinced that there is no \u00ab\u00a0silver bullet\u00a0\u00bb for improving the performance of organizations.\u00a0 Thus organizations need to learn about themselves and develop the problem solving skills to transform learning and insight into action.\u00a0 To do this an important step is for organizations to be able to generate systematic and credible evidence about themselves; who they are, how they function, and how well they are performing.\u00a0 The organizational assessment frameworks and approaches presented in this web site is our attempt to help organizations better knows themselves.<\/p>\n<p>As such, our vision is to live in a world where organizations and their staff strive to learn how they can be better and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world-in other words \u00ab\u00a0perform better\u00a0\u00bb.\u00a0\u00a0 The mission of this initiative is to provide organizations with the best knowledge and tools available which might be useful to organizations as they seek to improve.
