the New Sterling Navigator..

The first phase of the Sterling assessment process is a simple, cost-effective, and quick tool that provides organizations with a snapshot of where the organization currently is.

The process begins with the organization administering a survey to a cross section of employees. The Sterling Council then analyzes the data, determines the results, and provides a feedback report for the organization.

Several strengths and areas for improvement are identified as related to the Sterling Criteria; this information can be used by organizations to set future direction and develop strategic plans.

The Sterling Council offers mentoring as a follow-up once the Navigator feedback report has been delivered. This mentoring is customized for each organization.

Conducting the Navigator self-assessment helps organizations introduce the Sterling Criteria to their workforce. By placing a priority on the improvement initiatives, organizations can more effectively implement an award winning management system and move closer to the goal of performance excellence.

It is an organizational self-assessment based on the 2000 Sterling Criteria for Organizational Performance Excellence.

It is in the form of a questionnaire that is completed by members of the organization from different levels and functions.

The completed surveys are sent to the Sterling office, analyzed, and a computer-generated feedback report is prepared for the organization.

The benefits of the feedback report are as follows:

  • It provides a baseline measurement on how the organization is progressing on its path to excellence
  • It identifies the major strengths of the organization and the areas most in need of improvement
  • It is formatted in easy-to-read Pareto charts and bar graphs
