Understand Your Organizational Effectiveness

Why should I use this tool?

This tool can provide you with critical insights into your organizational culture, systems engineering workforce, and strengths and challenges in building systems engineering capability. The tool was developed as part of an eight-year global investigation on systems engineering effectiveness.

Organizations benefit most when they have a variety of employees complete assessments in the tool and use the data to build aggregate insights.

How will my data be used and protected?

Data from the tool is stored in a dedicated database that is limited to access by limited authorized HELIX representatives. If your organization and each individual who uses the tool agrees, an anonymized version of the results will be included in the master database to improve the model. If your organization would like to work with the Helix team, then the team will analyze the data and this aggregated analysis will be provided to your organization. Contact the Helix team to learn more.

What is this tool?

This tool captures critical aspects that impact effectiveness from multiple individuals in the organization and tracks changes and progress over time. It contains two well-known instruments, the Competing Values Framework (CVF)* and the Quality of Interaction Index (Qi Index)* . It includes assessments related to culture, teaming, structure, governance, and methods, processes, and tools to enable effective systems engineering capabilities.

*These frameworks were developed independently and are used with permission. The Qi index is owned by Human Insight. If you would like to work more closely with the Helix team, we partner with Human Insight to conduct more detailed analysis of the Qi Index data (fees may apply).

How long will it take to complete the assessment?

There are many aspects of your organization to explore, so the assessment will take some time, up to 30 minutes. However, users can save their progress and return to complete the assessments.

Who can use this tool?

The tool is an online assessment that asks questions about systems engineering in your organization. It can be used by systems engineers and anyone in your organization that works with or manages systems engineers. Organizations can set up the basic tool and invite systems engineers and their peers, managers, and leaders to complete assessments. Organizational administrators will be able to view the results across different parts of the organization or different locations. Results give a snapshot of organizational culture and systems engineering effectiveness. Taken over time, it provides a way of tracking the trajectory of an organization.
