Tools

We are launching this site with the goal of having three quite different assessment tools that can help you as a business manager. 

Management Capability Tool

This is a self assessment tool that helps you to reflect on ten key competencies areas that can improve your effectiveness as a manager. The launch version of this tool enables you to generate a personal competency profile for your current managment role. You look at each competency area and select the level of difficulty expected from you in your role. We will soon add in the ability to rate the consistency of your performance at this level, from 1 being seldom to 5 very consistently, and to record a rating as a goal for improvement through say a 3 month action plan.

Management Improvement Tool for Entrepreneurs

As an entrepreneur you seldom have any other management s help and you need to decide where to direct your own personal energy for greatest success in your business. The questions in this tool are designed to stimulate an action plan for your business by asking you to think about eight areas that entrepreneurs say are very important to success.

Business Practices Tool

The Ministry of Economic Development (MED) have worked closely with Statistics New Zealand to create the most comprehensive profile of the business practices of New Zealand companies and to identify what practices cause firms to be successful. MED will soon be providing a Business Practices tool that will enable you to rate your business on these practices and to print off a comparison against that data.  Coming Soon.
