There are specific things you can do to ensure that your strategy is actively embraced by your senior team and all the employees.
It requires getting them to actually care.
In the Strategy into Action program I will take your senior team through a workshop to ensure that everyone is working toward the specific desired outcomes which directly drive your business strategy.
I will leave you with a specific, practical action plan to use coming out of the meeting, to:
- Track execution
- Communicate with employees
I have been a CEO and I have run large organizations. I use this experience to create a high value working environment where I will:
- Work with your team to develop a "can't fail" list that is agreed upon by the whole team - this is often a breakthrough in itself.
- Challenge you to define specific desired outcomes for each critical success factor to support your business strategy.
- It's suprising how a team can agree that something is important, but still be way off on a shared understanding of the specific desired outcome.
- Clarify the resources to deliver these outcomes - This is where alignment really happens. Otherwise, people just nod their heads in the meeting and then nothing changes.
Deliverables after the workshop will include:
- An employee communication plan to intentionally communicate what was agreed.
- Documentation of the desired outcomes and decisions
- Documentation of the necessary committed actions to support the achievement of the desired outcomes.
- Commitments per executive which can be built into performance objectives
Make sure your strategy gets executed!
