Introducing the bioss Mapper                         Go to Mapper Experience

The bioss mapper enables the user to:

• capture the overall purpose and key accountabilities of each job in the organisation.

• assess and graphically represent the work level of a job against seven dimensions of work.

• develop detailed job profiles.

• compare and contrast the job profiles of different jobs in the hierarchy.

• position jobs within a divisional, functional or organisational chart.

• map accountabilities across the organisation.

The bioss mapper comprises three key elements:

1. An Accountability Profiler, which captures the details of specific jobs, including job title, line managerÕs job title, overall job purpose and key accountabilities. The details of current job-holders and their line managers and direct reports can also be included.
   

2. A Job Profiler, which assesses the work level of a particular job against seven dimensions of work, presents a graphical representation of the work level of the job and enables comparisons between different jobs in the hierarchy. The Job Profiler produces a detailed profile report for each job assessed.
   

3. An Organisation Charter, which maps the organisation (by division, function or in its entirety) and shows the allocation and cascade of accountabilities across the organisation. Current organisations can be compared to future alternatives, and transition structures can be modelled.

AVAILABILITY TO CLIENT ORGANIZATIONS

The mapper is used by bioss consultants as part of their tool-kit in organisation and role design. It is also available to client organisations under licence. However, for the mapper to be used effectively, client users need to be fully conversant with the methodology of work levels and trained in the applications of the mapper. Fully customised training programmes for the staff of client organisations are available.
