Benefits for participating organisations
Organisations undergo a rigorous self assessment process, enabling leadership teams to identify critical issues which impact productivity and performance yet which may remain “white elephants” or go unnoticed during business as usual.
- OPI enables leadership teams to hold up a mirror reflecting the real state of their organisation, empowering decision makers to develop strategies based on an accurate and comprehensive understanding of current performance and to prioritise critical areas of intervention to boost future performance.
- OPI also enables organisations to understand their performance and competitiveness within the context of their sector or industry so they can benchmark effectively against peers.
- OPI provides a single integrated score which demonstrates an organisation’s competitiveness. This acts as a mark of due diligence in order to demonstrate transparency and integrity through a respected third party assessment.
- The OPI process generates case studies of successful business practices which highlight an organisation’s strengths in core areas. It also identifies local heroes - leaders who can inspire others to emulate their success through sharing experiences and lessons learned.
Benefits for other stakeholders
- OPI provides invaluable data for national and regional Governments as they develop economic and investment strategies to boost and market their competitiveness.
- Research organisations will also be able to use organisations’ OPI rating to establish the relative competitiveness of different geographies and sectors.
