Self-Assessment
Assess your organization's current capacity in each of these key areas to help identify opportunities for growth and development of system-based capacity for transitioning to value. Consider having a team of six to eight people from across your organization complete this assessment independently, then use it as a tool for discussion to bring in perspective from across the organization, to understand varying perceptions, gain buy-in and identify opportunities and priorities for action.
