Over the years, Tata executives, being Tata Business Excellence Model (TBEM) External Assessors, have found assessment as an opportunity to drive performance excellence with a feeling of accomplishment and pride. The stint gives them a platform to hone their leadership skills, on a live organisation, by critically assessing and providing insightful observations along with the team colleagues, for a strategically significant assignment.
Many of the experienced assessors coin the TBEM assessment as a mini-MBA. Each year, about 30 Tata group companies participate in the TBEM External Assessments, or Dip Check Assessments, to seek an outside-in view of their progress. These assessments are carried out by qualified Assessors from the Tata group, who have domain expertise stemming from their varied industry and functional experiences.
Tata managers attend the Assessor programmes and learn about the TBEM criteria and assessment methodologies. One of the core areas for Tata Business Excellence Group (TBExG) is developing business excellence (BE) Assessor capabilities through an experiential learning methodology. These assessment-related programmes are aimed at developing the skills of new assessors through programmes like Business Excellence Assessor Programme (BEAP) and Subject Matter Expert Assessor Programme (SMEAP), as well as enhancing the skills of experienced assessors through programmes such as Experienced Assessor Programme (EAP).
Being a Business Excellence Assessor helps Tata managers to:
- Understand the TBEM framework
- Understand an organisation from a document
- Develop capability for business diagnosis
- Develop holistic and systemic thinking
- Learn to hypothesise situations and probabilities
- Master an ability to drive consensus
- Create a rich network for mutual gains
- Enrich your role as a business leader
In our continued endeavour to keep our capability building programmes experiential, exciting and enriching, we have refreshed the Assessor Programmes from end to end. In their new avatar, these Assessor Programmes will come with a new case study with 2018-19 TBEM criteria, refreshed content, slides and participant hand-outs, management games to understand fundamental concepts and enhance business acumen, rejigged quizzes to enable it learning with fun, experience sharing by CEOs and mentors, BE heads and team leaders during the programme and many more exciting elements.
