(Note:  If an organization wishes to score itself on the standard ten charts for a given industry, select the SCORE Process "Management Assessment Program" (MAP).) Place this item in your shopping cart to be contacted for a customized proposal appropriate for your organization. 

SCORE Process "Management Assessment Program" (MAP), 140113:  The SCORE Process "Management Assessment Program" is a five day resident (face-to-face) program that focuses on establishing scores and consensus for attributes in ten pre-selected World-Class Management Charts.  The workshop is often called the MAP or Management Assessment Program since the process heavily involves management assessing itself and then identifying the gaps between current state and world-class.  The result is essentially a rough guide or map for improvement.  Detailed "roadmaps" are developed later in the ROADMAP and ROBUST Processes.  The goal is to end the week with a fully assessed Industry DR²IVE™ Model and SCORE Report.  The workshop is led by Certified Roadmaps Institute™ DRIVERs and one Master.  The Workshop may be held at a sponsor's facility.  The Workshop requires a minimum of five managers to assess each chart.  The Workshop is segmented into approximately 10 sessions, each approximately 4 hours in length.  Managers attending may cycle in and out of the sessions so work schedule impact is minimized.  At the end of the week, each organization receives its own SCORE Report.  The SCORE Report provides an overall DR²IVE™ Score, Summary Statistics, Summary Chart Scores, Attribute Capability Scores and Project Priority Scores.  Place this item in your shopping cart to be contacted for a customized proposal appropriate for your organization.

ROADMAP Process "Enterprise Roadmap" Development Workshop, 140114:  The ROADMAP Process Workshop is a two day face-to-face workshop led by a Certified Roadmaps Institute™ Master that focuses on discovering and leveraging opportunities between internal divisions and business units to collaboratively improve the Enterprise's capabilities.  The workshop follows the ROADMAP Process phases of “Review” the opportunities (4 hours), engage in “Opportunity” discovery (4 hours), “Agree” on rough drafts of project charters (4 hours), “Develop” a rough draft of the resulting roadmap with “Milestones” (4 hours).  Due to the compressed time of the workshop and variable number of organizations in attendance, attendees are encouraged to understand that the phases will require post-workshop completion.  For example, in the “Agree” phase it is reasonable to expect that only one or two charters can be developed by each organization during the four hour period.  In addition, the last two phases of the ROADMAP Process, “Authorize” and “Proceed,” are only addressed in the opening and closing comments at the workshop.  The workshop requires an attendance minimum of three organizations with four or more managers representing each organization.  In addition, each organization must have previously completed the SCORE Process.  Place this item in your shopping cart to be contacted for a customized proposal appropriate for your organization.

ROBUST Process "Alliance Roadmap" Workshop, 140115:  The ROBUST Process Workshop is a two day face-to-face workshop.  The workshop is led by a Certified Roadmaps Institute™ Master.  The workshop focuses on discovering and leveraging opportunities between alliance (external) organizations to collaboratively improve each organization’s capabilities which, in turn, improve the alliance’s overall competitive capability.  The workshop follows the ROBUST Process phases of “Review” the opportunities (4 hours), engage in “Opportunity” discovery (4 hours), negotiate the development of project charters and “Broker” how the returns will be shared (4 hours), “Unite” the projects through the development of a rough draft Alliance Roadmap (4 hours).  Due to the compressed time of the workshop and variable number of organizations in attendance, attendees are encouraged to understand that the phases will require post-workshop completion.  For example, in the “Broker” phase it is reasonable to expect that only one or two charters can be developed by each organization during the four hour period.  In addition, the last two phases of the ROBUST Process, “Start” and “Track,” are only addressed in the opening and closing comments at the workshop.  The workshop requires an attendance minimum of two organizations with four or more managers representing each organization.  In addition, each organization must have previously completed the SCORE Process.

Facilitation

All Roadmaps Expertise Services require facilitation by professionals trained and educated to guide your organization towards its objectives.  Facilitation is provided by three different groups: Third Party Affiliate Companies, Roadmaps Institute™ Staff, and Approved Subject Matter Experts.  The type of service generally dictates the category of professional that your organization will need.  Descriptions of the facilitator categories or groups are given as follows:

• Third Party Affiliate Companies:  Third Party Affiliate Companies assist your organization in all five DR²IVE™ Processes, as well as consulting services for industry segments and core competencies.  In particular, a Third Party Affiliate Company is preferred for performing Registrar services in the AUDIT Process.  Third Party Affiliate Companies are staffed with Roadmaps Institute™ Certified Partners (RIPC).  RIPCs have attained the highest level of certification at the Roadmaps Institute™.  As a result, RIPCs are capable of serving as Facilitators, Registrars and Consultants.
• Roadmaps Institute™ Staff:  Roadmaps Institute™ Staff are available to assist organizations in their implementation of DR²IVE™.  Services provided cover all five DR²IVE™ Processes and may be delivered either on location or online.  Among the services are: corporate programs, interactive workshops, software guidance, report development and registration using the AUDIT Process.   Gradually, Third Party Affiliate Companies will eliminate the need for acquiring Expertise Services directly from the Roadmaps Institute™.  
• Approved Subject Matter Experts: Subject Matter Experts (SME) are specialists in a specific area or field.  For example, the Roadmaps Institute™ provides access to several SMEs that are experts in Total Cost of Ownership.   Depending on your organization’s needs, a professor from a nearby university or an industry expert would be recommended.  SMEs are particularly useful in facilitating the development of strategic and operational plans for DR²IVE™ Industry Segments and closing the gaps in the World-Class Management Step Charts.  Perhaps your organization needs an expert in Aerospace Industry Management?  The Roadmaps Institute can offer a cadre of the world’s finest.
