Excellence Audit v1.2 : Light 10

Introduction to Survey

The Excellence Audit, in its full format, allows teams to assess themselves against Tom Peters' definition of Excellence, and gives them food for thought about which are the most important opportunities for performance improvement. In this shorter 'Lite' survey, we have selected the 10 statements - 1 per Element - that are judged by our survey participants to be the most important in future. They are provided here as a quick assessment and to give you the chance to think about how these Excellence concepts might be relevant in your situation.

How to complete the Excellence Audit 'Lite'…….

1. Please provide the demographic details that are requested at the beginning of the survey.

2. When completing the Excellence Audit, our advice is to focus your thinking on the part/s of the organisation that you know best and on which you can have the most influence, be that YOUR whole business, YOUR department, YOUR immediate team, YOUR customers, YOUR suppliers... etc.

3. Then rate each statement using the numerical scale provided. How true is this statement for the way you see things working NOW? A score of 0 means this statement is not true for us. A score of 5 means this is absolutely typical of us. Choose a rating of between 0 and 5 that reflects your opinion.
Note: If you are not sure what your "Now" rating should be on a particular statement, we recommend you to rate that statement 0 and move on.

4. You must also rate the same set of statements thinking about how things need to be in the FUTURE, say in 2 to 3 years time. A score of 0 means this statement is not important for us in the future. A score of 5 means this is absolutely critical for our future success. Choose a rating of between 0 and 5 that reflects your opinion.
Note: If you are not sure what your "Future" rating should be on a particular statement, we recommend you to assign the same rating as you did in "Now" and move on.

5. If you want to, use the “Comments” box to record any additional thoughts or clarifying comments you have about that statement, Now or Future.

6. When you have completed the "Now", and "Future" ratings for the statements on each page, and added any "Comments" you want to make, click the "next" button to close that page off and move to the next page.

7. On the final page, there are a number of optional questions about any next steps that are relevant for you. Please click the 'Done' button to submit your survey responses.
