Your Scouting SWOT

Championship Teams Constantly Assess Their Scouts

and Hiring System, Not Just Their Players

NFL teams don't just scout prospects, they scout their own scouts and hiring system.

After every draft, professional teams conduct rigorous post-draft reviews analyzing what worked and what didn't.  

·  Scouts perform self-evaluations, grading themselves on the accuracy of their player assessments.  

·  General Managers examine whether their scouting system correctly matched players with their culture and the needs of the role.  

·  Coaches review whether new players were properly onboarded and quickly made a positive difference.

Why?  Because even the best scouts can have blind spots.  Even proven systems can drift from their original discipline.  And championship organizations know that consistent winning requires constant evaluation of the people and process responsible for adding top talent to constantly advance their team.

Ask Yourself:

How many people have we hired that have not fully met our expectations?

Realistically, how much time and money have we spent over the past year to replace people?

Do I prefer to spend my time hiring people rather than achieving results?

How NFL Teams Make Certain

Their Scouts and Systems Are Competitive

Pro sports teams follow a systematic, regimented process to confirm their scouting system is always best-in-class, and scouts are masterful experts at discerning which players can best help their team win championships:

· Post-draft retrospectives comparing initial player grades to actual draft positions and performance.

· Self-scout evaluations where scouts grade their own assessment accuracy from the previous season.

· System audits reviewing whether systems to attract and assess players is supporting the best decisions.

· Process reviews examining each stage from initial prospect identification through final selection and actual contributions on the team.

· Constantly develop scouts to master the art of hiring. They know what to look for, see things in players that competitors miss, create loyalty in recruits, and stay constantly alert for new data points to confirm their conclusions.

· Onboarding analysis measuring how quickly new players raise the bar, increase teamwork, and contribute to the overall organization’s success.

These aren't one-time exercises.  

 

Championship teams continuously refine their scouting process to confirm every scout at all levels of the organization have hiring mastery and follow the same systematic approach to achieve championship results.
