Enterprise Performance Assessment

The assessment reviews a company’s approaches in six categories:

Leadership
Strategic planning
Customer and market focus
Measurement, analysis and knowledge management
Workforce focus
Operations focus

This process provides companies with expert evaluation on how well the company’s goals, plans, processes and measures are aligned; strengths and opportunities for improvement for each category; and recommendations for key cross-cutting improvements. This assessment, based on the national Malcolm Baldrige Performance Excellence Assessment and the Governor’s Sterling Award, is designed for companies committed to improving their leadership and management systems.

Business Continuity Assessment

We offer several tools to help your company determine its preparedness to reduce the impacts and shorten recovery time from business disruptions, such as hurricanes, pandemics, fires, and other disasters or unforeseen events.

For a high-level overview of your company’s preparedness in the event of a future disaster, complete the Disaster Readiness Assessment on-line. This takes less than five minutes, and you will be provided with a feedback report immediately upon completion.
The Business Continuity Assessment evaluates your company’s resiliency for a wide range of potential risks, covering all aspects of a manufacturing business, front to end. The detailed report provides a roadmap for creating a Business Continuity Plan to help ensure that your employees and facilities are protected, and processes can continue despite an emergency or disaster so your company can continue operating and generating revenue. This assessment is completed with a Business Advisor, and you will be provided a report immediately upon completion.

Cybersecurity Gap Analyses

We offer two assessments which provide your company a roadmap for obtaining the desired level of Cybersecurity Maturity Model (CMMC) Certification:

Cyber Hygiene Assessment CMMC Level 1 and Roadmap. The assessment report - the Roadmap - details gaps, strengths, and opportunities for strengthening the current state. The Roadmap will establish the path for your company to achieve CMMC Level 1 compliance.
Cyber Physical Security Assessment. This assessment will provide your company with a gap analysis against the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Publication 800-171, and the Department of Defense’s (DoD) new CMMC standards for cybersecurity. The analysis will provide a roadmap to compliance and assistance in developing a System Security Plan and a Plan of Action and Milestones.

Capacity Analysis

How resourceful and resilient are you? Do you have the capacity to handle new growth? Are you using the newer technologies that will help increase your capacity to grow? Do you know the minimum sustaining revenue you need to be more resilient?

To meet your business and customer needs, understanding and estimating production capacities is essential. Our capacity assessment analyzes the current state capacity of the production value chain and can simulate your desired future state. This assessment is a cost-effective and low-impact approach to look for ways to improve production and operations.

Data and information from your company and its operations are used to develop a model of the company internal value stream which, when animated, simulates real-life process resources, inputs, flows, outputs, and throughput to customers.

Results: The capacity assessment will identify where improvements can be made; the simulation can be used to try out modifications before investing time and resources.

Brenda Prenitzer

NanoSpective, Inc.,
Co-founder and President

I'll sometimes work an entire weekend without sleep. Even if I'm completely exhausted, I'll make time for the Roundtable. It's about making time to work on your business and not in it. I always feel refreshed and come away with new knowledge. I can honestly say there hasn't been a single meeting where I felt disinterested or bored of what was being discussed. We all have different businesses, but our struggles and concerns are all very similar. It's remarkable.

I really appreciate the GrowFL CEO Roundtables available through FloridaMakes. One quickly realizes that we share the same stresses. We may talk about how to deal with a certain employee, logistics issues, market challenges, pay incentives, or how a certain book made an impact. I go in with a notebook and even if a problem being discussed is not currently a concern of mine, I take note knowing that as I grow, the I might face the same issue eventually. It's a great place to let your guard down and share your victories and challenges. People get emotional and really open up.
