CivicCoach Organizational Assessment

A staff-inclusive municipal organizational assessment, delivered end-to-end on a purpose-built digital platform. CivicCoach maps your real roster, auto-curates the questions and the participants, conducts the survey, and turns the results into scored findings across eight leadership dimensions — with anonymity engineered in, not promised after the fact. Seven stages, one platform, and a baseline your organization can measure itself against every year.

What the results look like

What a municipal organizational assessment reveals.

Results are delivered through a live Power BI dashboard. Here are two sample views, on illustrative data.

INSIGHT

Six of eight dimensions sit above the sector benchmark — but "Checking Progress" trails it by 16 points. The profile shows a leadership team that sets direction well and follows through poorly. That's not a morale problem; it's a systems problem — and it's fixable.

Strong Moderate Attention needed Largest top-to-bottom gap
INSIGHT

"Support & Resources" averages a healthy 70 — but nobody actually scored 70. Office staff cluster near 84 while field crews cluster near 52: two workforces having two different experiences, hidden inside one comfortable average. And the heatmap shows "Checking Progress" darkening top to bottom — leadership sees follow-through the frontline never receives. These are the findings a leadership-only review can't produce.
