What is it?
A Senior Management Survey measures the perceptions of the "Critical Few" toward every significant factor facing the company. The results provide a picture of management's philosophy, culture, values, goals, and planning logic.
Why do it?
A Chief Executive Officer must have the hearts and minds of the "Critical Few." This cadre makes it all happen. In even the best-managed companies, crucial questions often become extremely political. A Senior Management Survey is an anonymous opportunity to broach these questions.
How does it work?
Senior Management Surveys are tailor-made. Interviews with senior management pinpoint specific issues which drive design of the questionnaire. Subject areas often addressed are:
- Profit Enhancement
- Company Effectiveness
- Management Morale
- Budget Process
- Working Relationships
- Management Style
- Market Effectiveness
- Strategic Planning
- Acquisitions
- Growth Logic
- Innovation
- Decision-making
- Managerial Autonomy
- Control Systems
- Managerial Teamwork
- Management Development
- Competitive Position
- Performance Evaluation
- Compensation and Benefits
- Corporate Planning
- Short-/Long-term Goals
National, high performance, and industry senior management norms objectively position the organization being studied.
