The execution of the TPI NEXT® self-assessment consists of the following steps:
- Installing a dedicated environment of TPI NEXT® module.
- Setting up the TPI NEXT® module, as per arrangements from the intake.
- On the discussed date an e-mail message will be send to the people selected to fill in the questionaire.
- The TPI NEXT® module is accessible via the internet. You only need a webbrowser to access the questionaire. The website is available for a maximum of two weeks. After one week a reminder is send.
- The progress of completing the questionnaires is reported weekly to the contactperson.
- Within one week after closing acces to the questionnaires, the report presented to the contactperson and discussed.
In case the initial TPI NEXT® assessment was scoped to the organisation, it is essential to have end-users and business line management invited to fill in the questionaire.
