Written and supported by BlueSpark Consulting as part of
our Essential Guides collection, this guide aims to
introduce you to BlueSpark Consulting’s integrated
efficiency and effectiveness framework, which has been
developed over many years of working with voluntary and
other not-for-profit organisations.
Ensuring organisations work efficiently and effectively is such an obvious and basic responsibility of Chief Executives and senior management teams that we should consider it every day in our decision making. The way organisations are structured, business processes are designed, how we motivate staff and our use of technology should all aim to contribute to efficiency and effectiveness.
But - is this what really happens in practice?
If efficiency and effectiveness is regarded as a given, it may mean that it sometimes drops below management’s radar under the day-to-day pressures and deadlines that we all face.
Without a considered efficiency and effectiveness framework in place to remind us constantly of its central importance, short term expedient decisions are regularly made without enough thought being given to keeping the organisation working as well as it should.
This Essential Guide offers a proven, integrated efficiency and effectiveness framework and a checklist of the things we need to have squarely on our radar screens while we engage with our day-to-day working lives
