    (Sample Participants View)

    After each category,

    the eSurvey asks

    participants to identify

    two areas they believeneeds the most

    improvement. This

    data is reported as a

    Pareto chart and

    Data Chart in the

    Pareto Charts

    Staff members in your organization will be asked to select two areas in

    each of the seven categories, which they feel, is in most need of

    improvement. The concept of a Pareto chart is to show that the areas

    in need of improvement are usually a vital few, allowing leaders to

    concentrate their focus on specific improvement efforts.

    We will supply you with a Pareto chart for each of the seven

    categories, which reference each of the seven sections of theOrganization Assessment Survey.

    Each chart will display the letters that correspond to the themes for

    each of the seven categories along the x-axis. Along the y-axis both

    Count and Percentages are charted. The count of staff votes (Hits) for

    each area they believe is most in need of improvement is represented

    as bars on the graph. The chart is arranged with the largest hit count

    on the left of the graph, indicating the area selected by staff which theyfeel is most in need of improvement. The line charted above the bars

    represents the cumulative percentages of each bar, from left to right.

    Priority Improvement Counts and Percentages

    This chart shows priority improvement selections according to the various

    Demographic attributes and values. Look at C and G and you will see thatSupport Staff identified the need to improve these areas by a greater margin than

    did Administrators and Teachers/Instructors. This tends to indicate a deployment

    gap and suggests that Administrators and Teachers/Instructors are not perceived as

    effective as they believe themselves to be.

    Comments are provided by the respondents and can be prepared and used by examiners and

    organization leaders for improvement planning. The comments are sorted by each category and

    theme statement. Comments are reported out by one attribute, in this case, Position. They are

    then sorted by each value such as Administrator, Support Staff, and Teacher/Instructor.

    1A Communicating Values and Performance Expectations [Baldrige ref: 1.1a(1)]

    Posi t ion/Administ rator

    Approach & Deployment: We do a great job communicating to all. Through e-mails, town hall meetings, Intranet. Scorecards for

    the whole organization are in place. Rules of Operation being implemented and communicated very efficiently.

    Approach & Deployment: We use many techniques to communicate including all hands meetings each quarter, weekly notes from

    the email, voice mail.

    Posit ion /Support Staff

    Approach & Deployment: The scorecard is resented and the financial result and forecast are sometimes known.Action Steps to Improve: Get more input from staff for the scorecard. Make the results known.

    Approach & Deployment: Some goals are linked to the balanced scorecard but many have not been seen as major objectives.

    Many goals are very ad hoc and changeable, leaving staff unsure on direction. Many times effort is expended only to see that it has

    been wasted because of a change in direction or emphasis.

    Posit ion/Teacher/Instructor

    Approach & Deployment: The issue is that most of the top administration has left the organization and is now not fully replaced.

    There are still some gaps in the organization, which create some lack of communication. The checking of the effectiveness to focus

    on students does not seem to be done often.

    This chart shows the ratings by demographic attribute, in this case, Position. On the previous graph, Item 1.1,

    Leadership System, reflected a rating of 50%. However, according to the breakout above, Administrators. believe the

    processes are much stronger (69 percent) than Support Staff (less than 38 percent) and Teachers/Instructors (45

    percent). This typically indicates incomplete systems development or poor deployment of existing systems and

    processes required by the Item.
