Getting Started

	Conduct an Informational Meeting - At this initial meeting, our goal is to set expectations for both parties. We will listen to your needs and encourage all of your questions. The result is clear alignment on the approach, deployment and feedback results.

	Assign a Point of Contact - This is our "go to" person in your organization. The participating organization should assign a contact person with strong communication and project management skills. NCPE will ensure open and honest communications.

	Establish the Assessment Profile - Our staff will walk you through the set up process. Together we will define the appropriate version of the Assessment, the applicable Assessment criteria, number of participants and the demographic you want tracked for evaluation purposes.

	Create the Assessment - The output of step 3 becomes the input for step 4. NCPE will ensure the Assessment is created in a timely fashion based on all requirements defined. The Assessment will be made ready online for you to access at your convenience.

	Complete the Assessment - NCPE sends out an email to all participants notifying the Assessment is available and invite them to log on and complete it. NCPE will handle all the administration. Our point of contact is continually updated on progress via status updates. NCPE will send out periodic reminders to ensure maximum participation.

	Close Out the Assessment - Once the assessment is completed, NCPE will send out a confirming email to all participants thanking them for their participation.

	Performance Indicator Feedback Report - NCPE delivers the Performance Indicator Feedback Report within three days once the Assessment has ended.

	Next Steps - Evaluate the data and plan your organizational improvement strategies and initiatives.
