Assessments and diagnostics
GBPA develops and provides practical diagnostic and assessment frameworks and tools so that organisations are able to assess the state of different aspects of their key internal and external business relationships to identify and agree actions to improve collaboration and establish more effective partnerships.
GBPA’s range of proven practical assessment and diagnostic tools enable organisations to undertake objective assessments of their critical business relationships across a wide range of relational elements, and include:
Relationship Healthcheck
The GBPA Relationship Healthcheck is designed to enable organizations to gain the necessary insights to enable them to develop successful and effective relationships. The key areas assessed include: aligning objectives, mindset, cultural differences, communications & process, and leveraging strengths & resources. Read More »
Collaborative Excellence Diagnostic
This diagnostic survey focuses on the behavioural aspects of critical partnering relationships that GBPA’s Discovery Programme (Discovery Report: Vital Signs for successful collaborative relationships, 2006) has found to be ‘the must haves’ for building trust. The Collaborative Excellence Survey is designed to surface insights that help both parties to deepen their understanding of the perspectives of each other and to identify areas that are working well and to highlight where challenges are being experienced. It also provides clear metrics that enable the key relational criteria to be scored and subsequently tracked over time to measure progress towards agreed goals.
Relational Indicators
Specifically designed to focus on outsourcing relationships, these indicators enable the assessment of the type of relationship (transactional, collaborative, strategic partnering) that exists and identifies the opportunities and challenges in the areas of mindset, alignment, engagement, environment, and value add.

Many of these practical assessment and diagnostic tools are utilised by GBPA in supporting organisations wishing to develop collaborative capabilities, and for progressing onto The Collaborative Journey™ – the step by step process of how to get from the current state of the relationship to the desired state – with their service providers or customers.
