TBK Consult offers free X-ray of management teams in the software industry

Oct. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Imagine that it is possible to scan or take an X-ray of a management team and identify issues that can be easily corrected and will improve the team’s performance by, say, 25%. The subsequent impact on the entire organization would be substantial.

Over the past few years over 150 X-rays have been taken of management teams. All X-rays revealed a hidden potential that was released quickly and without major investment. TBK Consult would now like to test if this potential was specific for the 150 companies who did the analysis on their own initiative, or whether it is general for all management teams. In order to get as many businesses as possible to participate in the study, TBK Consult will be offering a free X-ray to management teams in the software industry.

“Until recently the cost of organizational scanning were incredibly high, reserving such activity for situations where problems were apparent, critical and out in the open,” says Hans Peter Bech, CEO of TBK Consult. “Organizational development projects were mainly undertaken by large organizations involving big consulting companies. The cost level and the drain on organizational resources accompanying such projects made them prohibitive for small and medium-sized organizations. Our vision is to offer our clients tools with which they can quickly and inexpensively improve their productivity by better utilization of existing organizational resources. We believe combining web-based questionnaire techniques with the principles of the Balanced Scorecard will meet this objective.”

Can web-based questionnaires really replace personal interviews?
Not in all situations. There will be nuances that are not captured in even sophisticated and dynamic questionnaires. The main advantage of the web based questionnaire is the huge cost saving. A cost saving of five to ten times compared to a personal interview is easily achievable. Such a saving may well justify the possibility that the 'quality' of such a questionnaire may be slightly diminished.

We do not expect that our technique will replace organizational development projects in large companies. Here companies will not compromise on the quality provided by the personal interviews. We are, however, convinced that the small and medium-sized enterprises, which currently do not have the means and the time for such projects, will benefit greatly from the technology.
