FRESH LOOK ASSESSMENT (FLA™)
Many organizations have objectives and plans that help guide their resources towards an ever increasing stage of efficiency and performance. Global Ascent LLC founders have been in a variety of businesses, dealing from communications to logistics, and have discovered a common theme that shows possible disconnects between what executive leadership thinks is happening versus the perception of the front line management and resources responsible for executing on the efficiency and performance improvement plans.
With the Fresh Look Assessment, Global Ascent takes a calculated approach to capture the goals and objectives at the executive and board levels. Next, a review of the current state business and operations is conducted. The assessment is concluded by outlining the gaps and discrepancies between the two points and commentary that suggests the best course options.
