HPR Process Audit

Concept of Auditing

All successful organisations audit their operational procedures - so why not rugby teams? The Audit Process involves a series of objective procedures that review the off-the-pitch systems used for developing high performance. The Audit considers a wide range of aspects. For example...

> Injury prevention
> fitness methods and standards
> individual player management
> strategies for promoting recovery
> resource management
> team cohesion
> planning and periodisation
> communication between players and staff

The Audit Process helps answer questions. For example:-

> Are systems and processes in line with evidence based methods and best practice?
> Is there commonality of purpose?
> Are the Coaching and Support Staff working well as a team?
> Are there high standards of rugby specific fitness?
> Are there underlining issues that need to be addressed but need mediating?

Benefits of an Process Audit

> Insight and ideas for improvement or change
> Interviews and surveys allow the Auditor to gather candid and reliable information from Players and Coaches
> Raises awareness and instills accountability
> Identifies areas of potential conflict

Audit Report and Facilitate Solutions

The Audit Report highlights areas that are operating really well and those that require attention. By working together closely on ideas and solutions, we can facilitate your drive for sustained high performance.

Modular

HPR Solutions offers a series of modules that can be incorporated into the Audit. We exclude on-the-field issues such as rugby tactics.

• Confidentiality

A confidentiality agreement is signed between HPR Solutions and the organisation.

• End of Season Review

  An End of Season Audit provides a detailed description of what actually took place, collates evidence of how much progress has been made and clarifies areas where performance was above, equal to and below expectations.

• Case Studies...

  Poor relations between Coaching staff effecting team morale and performance.
• High injury rate questioning the effectiveness of Fitness and Medical Staff.
• Head Coach with a philosophy of negative motivation.
• Player power forces Head Coach to quit
• Objectivity
  If so much valuable information can come from the feedback process it is worth considerable effort to make this as effective as possible.
• Independent
  One of the keys to delivering a successful Audit is to ensure that the Auditor has ‘been there’ and understands the challenges that teams encounter.
