Scope

The way people behave when they come to work has a direct impact on the bottom-line of any organization. Successful organizations have cultures that drive ideal behavior. Ideal behaviors, aligned with proven principles of operational excellence, result in continuously improving quality, cost, and delivery to customers.

 

The Shingo Prize has been assessing organizational performance for over 23 years and has developed a methodology for determining the degree to which the behaviors of leaders, managers, and associates are aligned with the ideal. The challenge has been to simplify this methodology such that any organization can easily evaluate itself on a regular basis to determine where it stands relative to the global standard. To that end, The Shingo Prize has developed SCOPE.

 


About SCOPE

SCOPE is a web-delivered assessment that looks at the entire organization: leaders, managers, and associates. The assessment helps managers improve the consistency of their execution and performance by measuring and addressing specific factors surrounding 10 guiding principles.

 

  • There are four dimensions (Cultural Enablers, Continuous Process Improvement, Enterprise Alignment, & Results)
  • Results are reported for the organization as a whole, as well for each strategic category of Leadership, Support and Operations
  • Results are anonymous – individual responses cannot be traced
  • The online assessment can be administered quarterly, semi-annually, annually or at any convenient interval to track improvement in capability
  • The SCOPE assessment is currently available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The initiation processes and final reports are currently only available in English.
