What is the Best Way to Explain NQI PEP® to my Senior Management Team?
The best way is to think about implementation. All senior managers want action. They want things done right away and they are normally very “outcomes driven.” Talking about the full CAE Criteria can be overwhelming for busy senior management. The way to refer to them is that the full Criteria represent a journey to excellence and/or a healthy workplace. The implementation of the Criteria through NQI PEP® breaks the journey into practical and manageable chunks. Senior management can quickly understand this progressive implementation roadmap because it consists of levels they can work on and accomplish. Also, assessing against Level 1 is far less complicated than assessing against all 4 Levels. Ease of use through progressive implementation is the point to reinforce.
