Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.

The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated HERCA specific requirements:


STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...

  • The latest quick edition of the HERCA Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.

Organized in a Data Driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…

  • Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation

Then find your goals...


STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 999 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of Process Design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which HERCA improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 999 standard requirements:

  1. Who is involved with workflow mapping?

  2. How will effects be measured?

  3. What are the uncertainties surrounding estimates of impact?

  4. Do you have enough freaky customers in your portfolio pushing you to the limit day in and day out?

  5. In a project to restructure HERCA outcomes, which stakeholders would you involve?

  6. What counts that you are not counting?

  7. Against what alternative is success being measured?

  8. When a disaster occurs, who gets priority?

  9. What projects are going on in the organization today, and what resources are those projects using from the resource pools?

  10. Is there any additional HERCA definition of success?


Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:

  • The workbook is the latest in-depth complete edition of the HERCA book in PDF containing 994 requirements, which criteria correspond to the criteria in...

Your HERCA self-assessment dashboard which gives you your dynamically prioritized projects-ready tool and shows your organization exactly what to do next:

  • The Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard; with the HERCA Self-Assessment and Scorecard you will develop a clear picture of which HERCA areas need attention, which requirements you should focus on and who will be responsible for them:

    • Shows your organization instant insight in areas for improvement: Auto generates reports, radar chart for maturity assessment, insights per process and participant and bespoke, ready to use, RACI Matrix
    • Gives you a professional Dashboard to guide and perform a thorough HERCA Self-Assessment
    • Is secure: Ensures offline Data Protection of your Self-Assessment results
    • Dynamically prioritized projects-ready RACI Matrix shows your organization exactly what to do next:

 

STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:

  • Diagnose HERCA projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices
  • Implement evidence-based Best Practice strategies aligned with overall goals
  • Integrate recent advances in HERCA and put Process Design strategies into practice according to Best Practice guidelines

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make HERCA investments work better.

This HERCA All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
