When and how often should I do the self-evaluation?
The tool is designed for ongoing use, enabling organisations to regularly monitor their developments and progress over time. Each completed self-assessment is securely stored within the platform, creating a valuable archive of past evaluations.
This allows organisations to easily consult and compare their previous results, providing insights into areas of improvement and highlighting trends or patterns. By regularly engaging with the tool, you can track the impact of actions taken, measure growth, and identify new opportunities for enhancement. This iterative approach supports continuous development and ensures that governance practices remain dynamic and aligned with evolving goals and challenges.
What is the report and what is a roadmap?
The report provides a comprehensive overview of the self-evaluation results and delivers tailored action plans. By default, users can select three out of the five areas identified as having the most room for improvement and receive specific action plans designed to help them progress to the next level.
Additionally, the roadmap serves as a detailed resource for understanding each topic. It includes:
A definition of the topic, a description of the ideal scenario, an outline of the risks associated with neglecting the topic, the key tools and instruments needed to address it, good practice examples for inspiration, and a comprehensive list of actions applicable to all levels.
The roadmap is also available as a flexible reference for users who wish to focus on topics outside the five weakest areas. This ensures that all topics, regardless of priority, are accessible for improvement efforts.
How can I collaborate with colleagues?
The number of accounts for each sport organisation is unlimited. In this regard, the organisation can decide to do an internal consultation beforehand and to put the data into the tool afterwards as the consensual view of the organisation.
Another option is for different representatives of the organisation to do the assessment separately and to consider the different points of view afterwards. Or to create one generic organisation account and have the experts in your organisation work on their dedicated dimension.
Do I need to have experiences in good governance?
The tool is designed to meet organisations exactly where they are in their governance journey, offering tailored solutions that align with their current status and needs. Whether your organisation is just beginning to explore governance practices or has already implemented specific actions and measures, the tool adapts to provide relevant and actionable support.
For newcomers, it serves as a comprehensive guide, introducing foundational concepts and providing step-by-step assistance to help establish strong governance practices. For organisations with profound experience, the tool offers advanced insights and strategies to refine existing practices, address challenges, and achieve higher levels of excellence. This flexibility ensures that organisations at any stage of their governance development can derive meaningful benefits and make informed progress.
Can any sport organisation use the self-evaluation tool?
The tool is designed to be highly versatile, making it beneficial for organisations across the entire spectrum of professionalization. Whether you are a non-professional federation or club operated solely by dedicated volunteers, or a professional federation or National Olympic Committee (NOC) with a diverse team of paid staff members, the tool can adapt to your needs.
Is the tool available in different languages?
The tool offers extensive multilingual support to cater to a diverse audience. The questionnaire is available in 14 languages, each translation crafted and approved by human experts to ensure accuracy and cultural relevance. This guarantees a smooth and intuitive experience when completing the questionnaire.
For the tool's interface, browser-based translation functionality is sufficient to navigate and use its features, as the interface elements are straightforward and adaptable to automated translations.
Additionally, all roadmaps provided within the tool are available in the same 14 languages, ensuring comprehensive accessibility for users seeking guidance.
However, the results, which are primarily visual and consist of charts and analytical insights, are presented mainly in English. This approach ensures consistency in interpreting data while maintaining the usability of other components in multiple languages.
