Popular assessment options include:

Assessments based on a written application - this the classic and most common approach
Interview-based assessments - these do not require a written application - they are best suited for rapid improvement purposes and not necessarily for award applicants. However, the information captured can be used to immediately produce the final draft of an application as a deliverable saving considerable cycle time and cost resources.
Gap analysis - this is best for rapid identification of high priority improvement opportunities. In effect, it is an application of the familiar "80:20 Rule".
Onsite validation assessments - this approach combines the interview assessment with direct findings from employees and actual process review. Again, the option to immediately produce the final draft of an application is also available for those seeking an award.

"Assessing management and operational systems and processes is a core competency that I have practiced and refined more than a thousand times since 1981." Paul
