JMW’s Alliance Performance Assessment has been designed to discern the limitations on performance beyond the obvious, and to provide insights that enable leadership to effectively intervene. The assessment culminates in an executive report and briefing that provides actionable insights and illuminates opportunities for elevating alliance performance.
Our assessment determines:
- The performance trajectory
- Risk areas and opportunities
- Issues existing within the workforce that could impede success
- Degree of alignment
- Cultural incongruities
- Clarity and precision: Are commitments clearly understood and managed?
JMW’s Alliance Performance Assessment is based on 20 years of research and experience which has consistently revealed that the most powerful factors defining and determining alliance success and performance are not always obvious. In fact, the strongest influences are found in what is unspoken, or not openly expressed. This is especially true when different companies work together in new ways.
As we conduct the assessment, individual interviews are conducted with a cross-section of employees who represent important constituencies throughout both enterprises. These interviews have proven a reliable means of revealing the critical issues, including specific cultural attitudes and practices that present the greatest leverage for transformation. When these issues are effectively addressed, there is a profoundly positive impact on the performance of the joint entities.
The interview and assessment process culminates in a report to alliance leadership that provides new insights into alliance behavior and results, and identifies specific areas for intervention or optimization.
