4. Management and Organizational Sustainability Tool (MOST)
After conducting initial MOST assessment with the staff of MAEC in September 2008, the LMS
staff has focused on working with MAEC staff to implement their action plans. During the MOST
assessment, MAEC identified three areas that they wanted to strengthen: Human Resource
management, Information management and Quality assurance. During the months following the
assessment, with consistent coaching from LMS staff and consultants, MAEC drafted manuals for
HR management and carried out the steps of their action plan. In a follow-up workshop
conducted in June, the MAEC team completed the assessment tool a second time and was pleased
to find they had moved from stage 2 to stage 4 (with 4 indicating the system is fully developed
and functioning) in Information management and from stage 2 to stage 3 in the area of Quality
control based on implementing their action plan from the original MOST workshop. The team
created a second action plan and is continuing to work on it at this time.
