Business Diagnostics – Myths and Truths

Business Diagnostics like many other business activities have been included in a phrase and reduced to a three letter acronym IDB which stands for Information, Diagnostics and Brokerage, but what are they really about?

In their simplistic context it means provision of information which it is carried out before brokering in specialist services, however, when you dig deep it is a far richer subject with many applications and possibilities than we would originally envisage.

But what makes a good diagnostic tool? Is it the questions and the way they are asked, benchmarking so that there is a guide for what is good and bad, the reporting process leading to action or the people intervention that has to take place to effect change?

Simply put it is all these things.

"A good diagnostic will be written so that it captures the information that is relevant to move a business forward, it will provide time savings which result in monetary savings

and lead to a positive action.“

Winning Insights - Research

The First XI deals with arguably the most important question in management: the ingredients for sustained above-average performance in an organisation. …. Professor Fred Hilmer



Winning Insights

■ Independent academic research commenced 2000, sponsored by Mt Eliza Business School (now the specialist Executive Education arm of Melbourne Business School).

■ The foundation survey involved over 1,000 CEOs and senior executives, exploring common assumptions on management thinking, which was previously strongly US influenced.

■ It set out to answer the question: Which organisations were undeniably successful and – most importantly - why?

■ Using a balanced scorecard approach, three years of subsequent rigorous academic research was undertaken to identify the standout characteristics of leading organisations that achieved sustained above-average performance over extended timeframes, incorporating the ups and downs of economic cycles. They range from listed companies through to NFPs.

■ Nine key characteristics were strongly evident in the 11 organisations that emerged from the detailed analysis phase of the research (hence “The First XI”).

■ These research findings were published in The First XI – Winning Organisations in Australia, published in 2002. The Second Edition was released in 2007. The Australian Institute of Management now ranks it among the top 10 best selling business books in Australia.

■ The 9 characteristics identified by the research now comprise the Dimensions of the WinningWheel framework and related self-assessment survey.



Winning Insights – The Nine Dimensions

1. Having a clear – yet “fuzzy” strategy.2. Having perfect alignment throughout the

organisation; being “in sync”.3. Outlook: Looking out/looking in (an

expansive perspective).4. The ability to adapt rapidly to changing

circumstances.5. Having the “right” people.6. Fostering leadership throughout the

organisation, not just a focus on leaders.7. Managing the downside (risks).8. Balance everything that impacts on

performance.9. Effectively executing what you aim to do.



Opportunity / Performance Gaps Explained

“An Opportunity Gap is the difference between how well something is done and how important it is perceived to be for the future success of the organisation.”

Also known as Performance Gaps.

Improving the performance gaps

Improved Performance, Morale and Productivity

Improved Profitability and Sustainable Growth

The Winning Organisations of Today



Winning Insights

Why was the diagnostic developed ?

■ To assist organisations measure their performance against the proven 9 Dimensions of the WinningWheel framework.

■ To help organisations precisely target development priorities and focus actions in areas that offer the most opportunity for improvement (“opportunity gaps”).

■ To continue the First XI research and provide valuable benchmark data.

Who should complete the diagnostic ?

■ Targeted at those leaders within an organisation who – collectively – should know most about how the organisation is performing and where to focus for future success: ie: those in the leadership/ management echelons of the organisation. (It is not an employee’s opinion survey)

■ Typically: the CEO, direct reports to the CEO, and the next level of management; we recommend the top 3-4 leadership layers in an organisation, depending on size, plus key functional heads.



Winning Insights

■ Research-based, objective measure of performance against the First XI WinningWheel

■ Engagement of your extended leadership team in organisational assessment & reflection

■ Fast to complete, yet delivering high value, actionable insights from the reports

■ Clear identification of challenges & opportunities for the strategic planning cycle

■ Bivariate analysis enables you to identify major opportunity gaps (high importance, low performance)

■ Insights that enable prioritisation of initiatives

■ Clear reports that support cascade of information throughout the organisation

■ High quality consulting support to advise throughout the survey process and roadmap implementation

■ Consistent, structured approach that allows periodic re-assessment of your progress



The Process

The process consists of a simple and in-depth overview of an organisation at all levels. It consists of an on-line survey which can be run for individuals or organisations as a whole.

The resulting report is extremely visual using graphs, tables, text and provides a comprehensive platform from which to benchmark future success and design action plans to move a business forward.
