We believe that a clear vision of the company, a healthy organizational culture and the effective implementation of goals are a prerequisite for the success of any organization. If an organization fails in any direction, it simply won't be able to take advantage of new opportunities or effectively overcome existing problems. POWER3 Diagnostics is ACT's unique methodology that examines and diagnoses an organization's health in these three areas.
The POWER3® diagnostic is the first step in our POWER3® transformation model, but it also has value in its own right. This methodology includes both expert interviews and organizational research and business analytic approaches. Based on an in-depth analysis of the organization, a diagnostic report is generated that answers the following questions:
Vision
• How clear is the vision of the development of the organization from the management team of the company?
• To what extent are strategic priorities aligned? On what strategic issues is there full agreement, and where are there differing positions?
• How do people in the organization perceive the company's strategy? How clear is it to them where the company is heading? How coherent and cohesive do they perceive the management team to be?
Culture
• How healthy is the organizational climate - relationships, environment, the possibility of self-realization of employees
• How effective is the management and leadership style in terms of employee performance, engagement and implementation?
• How loyal are employees and how high is their involvement in the activities of the organization
• What is the level of collaboration within microteams and between teams?
• What important values define the culture of the organization?
• What counterproductive behaviors within the organization are contrary to core values and damaging to the culture?
Execution
• How effectively and consistently does the company implement the decisions made?
• What is the degree of responsibility of employees within their competencies and responsibilities?
• How efficient and adequate are the resources (human, time, financial, technical) planned?
• How effective is the current management system and organizational structure in terms of management and employees of the company?
• How effective are individual areas of the organization (eg HR, operations, finance, sales, marketing, etc.) and why?
• What opportunities for efficiency improvement do the company's management see?
As part of the POWER3 diagnostic, you will be able to see the organization through the eyes of its management and employees; Find similarities and differences in their opinions. Clearly see the aspects of improving the management of the organization and the potential for its development.
In addition to in-depth analysis, the unique tool developed by the POWER3 Diagnostic Institute will provide you with several important organizational metrics that will enable you to track and evaluate the progress of your organization after the diagnosis. These indexes are:
- The POWER3 Index is a measure of the overall strength of an organization.
- Vision Clarity Index - An index of the clarity of the organization's vision.
- Culture Health Index - an index of organizational culture health.
- Execution Effectiveness Index - an indicator of the effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms.
- Leadership Effectiveness Index - an index of the organization's leadership effectiveness.
- Employee Engagement Index — employee engagement index
- Collaboration Index - an index of collaboration between individuals and teams.

POWER3 diagnostics take 4-6 weeks depending on company size. In addition to diagnostic work and analytical report, his methodology also includes a one-day strategic seminar with the company's management. Our experience shows that members of the organization's management often see organizational reality in different ways - existing problems, their prerequisites and ways to solve them. This is natural, because a leader in a different position sees the organization from a different angle, in addition to the prism of his professional or personal experience. It is this different perception of reality that causes resistance and tension between members of the team, as a result of which the development of the organization is hindered. The main goal of the POWER3 Diagnostics Workshop is for senior management to discover these differences, "fix focus" based on objective data, agree on one reality and next steps.
We call this stage "business momentum". Because it is at this seminar that the management team of the organization realizes a problem or a specific opportunity - a “momentum” that pushes it to significant changes and transformations.
