Diagnostics to Meet Your Business
and IT Goals
DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostics compare your organization's current state to industry best practices. They are designed to discover overall organization strengths and weaknesses and to identify specific performance gaps and opportunities for improvement.
MSSBTA's diagnostics are a quick, easy, and cost-effective way to collect data and turn it into practical insights that can be used to develop action plans and to communicate with key stakeholders.
​
Each diagnostic includes a quantitative survey and a verbal presentation along with a written report of our findings. Most diagnostics can be completed in 2 to 4 weeks (slightly longer for large organizations).
