Under COAD´s approach, organisational assessment is the first step and will lead to an actual map of the candidate organisation´s capability in terms of ability to manage projects and programs optimally as well as status of its productivity and performance, with particular emphasis on project-based capabilities.

The assessment will reveal the organisation´s capability in terms of staff competencies, organisational factors, including the maturity of systems and business infrastructure and risk management practices. The assessment results will be mapped to 5 levels of excellence to allow setting of improvement targets. Note that all staff in the subject organisation will be assessed, comprising all roles, from senior and middle managers, through to project managers, team members and support staff. The organisation unit will receive advice as how to apply the Global Role Family (GRF) model within a systematic competency framework.

The evaluation of an organisation capability will lead to the setting of improvement goals and a streamlined program that will address the missing capabilities in a consistent form. As part of this solution the COAD team will investigate the feasibility of establishing a Project or Program Management Office, including its functions and location inside the organisation.

All staff members will receive assistance to assess themselves and develop a plan to enhance their competencies. This approach is a cost effective way to professionalising the organisation and building specific (e.g. project/program/portfolio management) capabilities. It recognises that the needs of each organisation are unique and that goals also vary depending on the line of business and the forces of competition and the desire to operate in the international markets.
