The Fake Work Organizational Assessment

Fake Work is a systemic problem in many organizations, but mostly, many organizations simply don’t know how pervasive fake work is and where it is most prevalent. This instrument is a comprehensive tool to assess your organization and each individual within it to create a fake work profile. It is designed for teams, departments, groups, and all members of an organization. LINK

The Benefits of this Instrument are obvious if you understand the corrosive affect of fake work. About 50% of the work in most organizations is Fake Work. You can’t afford it. So, the first step to addressing it is to know what it is and where it is occurring. This profile will help you to:

  • Highlight issues that are affecting productivity and performance.
  • See strategic links to fake work—where it starts and what affects strategy has on overall focus of the organization.
  • Evaluate the power of alignment and it’s overall connection to doing real work.
  • Understand the elements affecting results—executing work to get the right work done.

    Translating the Assessment Results

    Our Assessments are designed to provide you straightforward information and insight into problems and issues of concern, but translating the data into actions is very important, so we offer onsite or distance coaching on using the information and developing strategies to rethink, rebuild, and redesign ways to change fake work to real work and results.
