Federal, state, and local governments regulate almost every aspect of the business environment. While many requirements necessitate one-time actions, others govern ongoing business operations. Performance measures dedicated to monitoring compliance with regulatory requirements and possessing thresholds tailored to ensuring timely, preemptive corrective actions prevent noncompliance, provide regulatory margin, and minimize management distraction.
The value derived from performing business performance assessments directly correlates to the effectiveness of the program itself. In order to maximize its value, the self-assessment program must be efficiently administered, the individual assessments insightful, and the follow-on improvements recommendations actually implemented. Shortfalls in any of these aspects diminish the program’s overall return on investment. Therefore, organization leaders should ensure the self-assessment program is optimally executed much like the self-assessment program helps ensure effective, efficient execution of the organization’s other activities.
