QuickLook: 360-degree Organizational Assessment

The path to an organization’s health and maturity

Booz Allen’s QuickLook is a tool that measures an organization’s overall effectiveness and provides a tailored roadmap for future maturity and growth. Assessing an organization’s ability to meet its core responsibilities and excel at central functions, QuickLook provides leaders with key insights into people, process, and technology needs so they can better understand what steps may be necessary to strengthen the health of their organization. 

Engaging with stakeholders to define a target-state vision is a critical step in any organizational transformation. When speed is essential, QuickLook helps manage this step by providing stakeholder engagement recommendations and strategic advocacy material.

Effective and Smooth Senior Leadership Transition

When a new leader takes over a program, team, or organization, one of the greatest challenges they face is gaining a clear and objective understanding of its "as-is" state. QuickLook solves this problem and supports successful leadership transitions by providing a detailed, current-state view, as well as tactical recommendations for improvement.

Streamlined Processes, Informed Decisions

Leaders have a critical role in managing multiple enterprise-wide information technology (IT) processes, but often lack the resources and roadmaps to accomplish their objectives. A QuickLook assessment mitigates these challenges by producing people, process, and technology recommendations to help leaders make informed budgetary decisions and optimize resource allocations. 

Increased Clarity in Organization Responsibility and Improved Functional Capabilities

To define an organization’s target state, a new leader must first gain a comprehensive understanding of its core responsibilities. QuickLook provides leaders with the insights they need to gain this understanding and helps lay the groundwork for strategic functional capability improvements. 

How QuickLook Works

In providing an actionable snapshot of an organization’s current state, a QuickLook report covers four primary sections: 

  1. Core Process Assessment: Analysis and findings are described using a core process assessment scorecard. Each scorecard breaks down processes into supporting capabilities, providing analysis, key evidence, and overall findings.
  2. Community Analysis: Stakeholders are brought in to define a vision for the organization, leading to the development of a target model that describes key attributes of the organization’s recommended future state.
  3. Organization and Staffing Assessment: Current organizational structure is delineated, assessing the organization’s current and future business activities. QuickLook also makes the appropriate workforce recommendations based on organizational misalignment, capability, and staffing gaps.
  4. Maturity Roadmap and Recommendations: Prioritized recommendations are presented for each of the four dimensions—people, process, technology, and infrastructure—and used to support the development of a transition roadmap.
