Make Your Strategy Come Alive – What to do after you craft your strategy?
An exciting, informative and highly motivating workshop by Robin Speculand that addresses the challenges of implementing strategy. It is packed with what works and what to avoid, stories and a framework to guide leaders to take the right action and ensure success.
Here's a summary outline of our signature seminar held in over 12 countries across the globe:
Have you ever been involved in an organization in the crafting of the new strategy? Then despite everyone’s best intentions, you become so caught up in the day-to-day business that the implementation is derailed? Or have you been part of a project that did not deliver the results despite everyone knowing what to do? Or have you spent months creating a new initiative only to see it fizzle out? Unfortunately this happens more often than not. Our
seven years of research revealed that:
There is a fundamental flaw in the current approach to implementation.
Like making a plan to diet or exercise, it is not the plan itself that makes a difference; it is implementing it.
Once the leadership creates the strategy, the best minds in the organization come together. They devote their time, energy and effort to identify ways to outplay the competition, win market share and increase profits and shareholder value - all tough challenges to tackle. Yet despite this focus, most strategies fail to deliver.
Successful implementation, though not complex, does require both structure and discipline - fuelled by a commitment to stay on course and drive the new strategy into every part of the organization.
Until now, there hasn't been an effective framework to enable strategy implementation to happen. Business leaders have a wide choice of tools, techniques and consultants to help them create strategies. But when it comes to implementation, they have largely been left to flounder on their own. Not any more!
The workshop introduces you to the Implementation Compass™, a proven strategy implementation framework and organizational transformation tool. The Implementation Compass™ introduces the eight critical directions of successful strategy implementation. Implementation is not just about having the right people, or redesigning processes or identifying new measures. It is about moving in eight directions simultaneously!
The Implementation Compass™ also allows you to assess your organization readiness to implement the strategy and identify the actions you need to take today to deliver tomorrow’s strategy.
