The Productivity Diagnostic consists of three assessments, each with a number of key deliverables.

1. People Assessment – This includes a Productivity Pulse survey and staff interviews as required.
2. Process Assessment – This includes an objective review of key productivity indicators in each of the seven performance domains against the criteria of Kognitive’s Productivity Maturity Framework.
3. Financial Assessment – This includes Kognitive’s Productivity Ratio Assessment which analyses the organisation’s financial statements and other KPIs to identify productivity trends.
   

Once these three assessments are complete, we conduct a detailed multivariate analysis of all data to identify the most important areas to focus on. Results are summarised in an executive report and presented in a strategy workshop, where we co-develop and prioritise improvement initiatives to accelerate your path to execution excellence.

Although all three tools use Kognitive's Performance Pyramid, they offer an increasingly more thorough view into your internal operations. The Productivity Diagnostic is the highest resolution assessment tool, followed by the Productivity Pulse and then the Productivity Health Check.

More specifically, the The Productivity Diagnostic is the most comprehensive assessment. It reviews culture, process and financial performance to gain a 360 view of the effectiveness of your organisation's internal operations. he Productivity Pulse consists of a survey which is completed by all staff and a workshop and report which deliver key findings. It takes 2–4 weeks to complete and it provides a snapshot into an organisation’s culture and productivity at any given moment in time. The Productivity Health Check is the lowest resolution view which focuses on speed, cost-effectiveness and privacy. It consists of a survey completed by one business leader and a report which highlights key findings. Results are delivered within four hours and it provides an excellent broad brush stroke assessment.

Think of the Workflow Assessments as slicing deep into one area (or workflow) explored in the Productivity Diagnostic. If you know you would like to improve a specific workflow or are facing challenges in a particular area, then the Workflow Assessments will be the best tool. If you are looking for a comprehensive organisational wide view of your operational performance then the Productivity Diagnostic will be the best tool. Book a discovery call if you’d like to discuss further.

On average it takes 4–6 weeks to complete the Productivity Diagnostic. Shorter turnaround times are available under some circumstances. If you require a faster turnaround time book a discovery call and we’ll confirm the shortest possible turnaround time currently available.

In our experience, firm recommendations are often ineffective because they don’t take into consideration your context, constraints and organisational complexity. Instead of providing rigid recommendations, we find it more effective to provide you with improvement initiatives for consideration. In the debrief workshop we then help you evaluate these options and evolve the most relevant strategies together to meet your specific needs.

Absolutely, once you’ve signed up we’ll provide you with our Communication Guidelines and email templates which help you contextualise your communication of the Productivity Diagnostic, increase buy-in and obtain optimum response rates.

The price varies depending on the size and complexity of your organisation. Book a discovery call to evaluate the options and confirm the pricing for your organisation.
