Organizational Health Audit
To better understand how all of the components of your organization interact, support, and synergize with each other, an organizational health audit is the first step. In this process, we will examine your school's standard operating procedures, strategic plan, and modes of operation. We will provide a detailed analysis of the finances, operations, facilities, and all of the components of your school that support teaching, learning, and student achievement. We will root our work in the organization's strategic plan when available. In the event, there is no strategic plan in place, we will guide the organization through the process of strategic planning.
The Organizational Health Audit includes:
- Deep analysis of organizational alignment across multiple departments and domains
- Review and reflection of espoused school vision/mission/values for lived practices
- Strategic planning benchmarking
