ADRI
The ADRI approach to evaluation of an organization's effectiveness considers the following:[1]
- Approach: what processes, strategies, and structures have been developed and reasons why they have been selected;
- Deployment: how these processes, strategies, and structures have been implemented;
- Results: what trends are indicated by the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and how this is assessed; and
- Improvement: what process is used for reviewing the appropriateness and effectiveness of the Approach and Deployment above.
The approach is used to improve quality in a cyclical manner at many universities.[2] It is also used for independent reviews of organizations.[3]
The ADRI approach originated in Australia[2] is used by the Oman Academic Accreditation Authority.[1][3] The approach has been used in programming courses too.[4][5]
