LVS Model and Results
- Joshua Freedman
LVS Model
All the Vital Signs tools use the same core model of performance drivers. In addition, each VS tool includes a second questionnaire about performance outcomes. These outcomes are different for each tool.
The LVS outcomes are shown in the following graphic:
Outcomes Defined
Outcome | Definition |
|---|---|
Design | Planning and managing a smooth workflow with and through people. |
Direction | Setting a viable, powerful vision. |
Efficacy | Generating useful results. |
Influence | Building strong relationships to enroll people. |
As you can see visually, above, there is one outcome per dimension. For example, Direction is an outcome tied to Strategy, which is a mix of Motivation + Change (and a baseline of Trust which is part of all dimensions).
LVS Results
The LVS report includes:
Executive Summary: A high level review of the feedback
Introduction: Explanation of the LVS tool
The Vital Signs Model: Overview of the model and feedback at a cumulative level
The Drivers in Detail: Feedback on each of the five drivers broken out by rater- group
Outcomes: Graphic and numerical data about the four outcomes.
Numerical Tables: Recap of all data in numerical form, including gap analysis of items with the highest disparity between self-rating and other-rating.
Comments: Review of the qualitative feedback.
Conclusions: Synthesis, analysis worksheet, action planning worksheet, final remarks.
This is a sample from “The Drivers in Detail” showing self vs raters’ feedback on the Motivation driver. In this example, four rater groups are compared:
From the “Model” section of the report, this is a sample of feedback about balance on the four dimensions (People v Organization; Operation v Strategy) from the participant’s perspective (blue) and the raters’ perspective (green).
In the Numerical Tables section, each item is reported showing the number of raters who offered a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 on the feedback scale. The participant’s self-rating is highlighted.
This image is of the Executive Summary, graphically showing the feedback on the VS Model (the blue and orange lines represent the scores in each area; this data is reported in a graph or on the following page).
