The Awarditor Scale

on

 The method to determine whether a company is sustainable uses a variety of metrics.  The long list below is regarded as comprehensive.   But there's more.  You have CMMI that is complicated and focused on software.  It's a good objective measure.  

What about the informal training that happens in that company.  That is the core of how the company operates.  People teach each other all the time.  This in itself is a form of resilience.  But if that process is formalised and recognised in the company, a strong element of resilience is built into the structure.  

This resilience demonstrates 

i)    There is a culture of training and learning in the organisation

ii)    It is formalised and encouraged

iii)    Knowledge is transferred, enhanced and improved, and re-inforced.

iv)    Redundancy is now built into the organisation where stakeholders know that if people leave all of their skills don't leave with them

v)    In the case mergers it is easier to identify those people that should be retained.  There is an objective measurement that applies to everyone.

The Awarditor Scale uses a series of customisable metrics to rate companies out of a total of 22.  The scale provides a level of comfort to any stakeholder (shareholder, administrator, government, union etc) that their is staff continuity and knowledge transfer.
