How Do I Evaluate Process Items? Process items are evaluated using four factors: • Approach • Deployment • Learning • Integration ADLI
Approach (A) “Approach” comprises • Methods used to carry out Process • Appropriateness of methods vs requirements • Effectiveness of the methods • The degree to which the approach is repeatable and based on reliable data and information (i.e., systematic)
Deployment (D) • “Deployment” is the extent to which • Your approach addresses item requirements relevant and important to the organization • Your approach is applied consistently • The approach is used by all appropriate work units
Learning (L) Learning comprises • The refinement in approach through cycles of evaluation and improvement • The encouragement of breakthrough change through innovation, and, • The sharing of refinements and innovation with other work units and processes in the organization
Integration (I) “Integration” is the extent which • Your approach is aligned with organizational needs (OP/ processes) • Your measures, information, and improvement systems are complementary across processes and work units • Your plans, processes, results, analyses, learning, and actions are “harmonized” across processes and work units to support organization-wide goals
Levels– Current performance on a meaningful measurement scale Trends– Numerical data that show the direction and rate of improvements (slope over time) Comparisons– Your performance relative to that of other appropriate organizations, competitors or organizations similar to yours; relative to industry leaders or benchmarks Integration– Measures (segmentation) addressing important performance requirements relating to customers, products/services, markets, processes, or action plans identified in your OP and in process items; future performance; harmonization across processes and work units to support organization-wide goals Results Evaluation Factors LeTCI
Segmentation Segmentscan be defined by, among other things: Customers (students/families for Education; patients/families for HC) Market or Product offerings By Location Workforce group (employees, tenure, admin, hourly, etc.) Size of the group in question The applicant defines their segments (OP); we assess the results of those segments
