ABSTRACT:
A method for assessing a process of an organization is provided. First, information concerning the organization and the process is acquired, such as from a set of questionnaires, interviews and/or document reviews. Then, a plurality of preliminary findings are developed based upon the information. Each of the developed preliminary findings has an associated characterization of either a strength or a weakness. Next, a conclusion associated with each preliminary finding is voted for electronically, where the conclusion is either an agreement with the preliminary finding or a disagreement with the preliminary finding. A plurality of final findings are then developed based upon the vote for each conclusion. Each final finding also has a characterization of either a strength or a weakness.
