APPA's Strategic Assessment Model (SAM) is an essential tool that can be used to achieve organizational excellence through continuous improvement. SAM enables the facilities professional to assess an organization's financial performance, the effectiveness of its primary processes, the readiness of its employees to embrace the challenges of the future, and its ability to serve its customers.
