What went well? Were there any barriers or challenges that inhibited your ability to complete the assessment tool? How would you address these in the future or change your assessment to better address these challenges?

Benchmark assignment – spiritual needs assessment and reflection

In general, I am pleased with how the tool was completed. In addition to identifying potential risks, I also identified key areas of improvement and suggested ways certain tasks could be performed more efficiently. The biggest challenge was having all of the relevant information to make a decision on how to best address each risk. Although I knew a little about each of these tasks, further research revealed that it would be helpful to get input and additional information from others in the organization.

In order to better tackle this issue in the future I will spend more time with stakeholders across departments, and gather additional resources prior to launching the tool. In addition, if I can, I’ll create a framework that highlights important factors such as possible risks and improvement areas before beginning any assessments. This will ensure everyone is on the same page when it comes to developing solutions or strategies.
