Strategy Alignment & Execution

Alignment is vital in executing strategy. Often, strategic planning efforts fall short due to skipping the strategy alignment process. To drive successful implementation of the strategy, we focus on aligning individuals and teams towards the organizational vision. In addition, we help our client-partners develop a score card to monitor progress and success. Efforts to improve alignment and strategy execution are most effective when supported by a robust framework that addresses the following key enablers:

A. Development and Execution of a Communication Plan

A well-defined organizational vision and strategic goals are essential components of a communication plan. We assist organizations in the development of these components and in their internal and external communication.

B. Translating Strategy and Alignment of Teams

We work with leaders on developing a plan to translate the vision to their teams. In doing so, the leaders define the role that each individual or team would play in achieving the vision. We also help develop a balanced score card that establishes accountability and monitors progress and success.

C. Translating Strategy into Initiatives and Project Funnel

We facilitate action sessions with cross-functional work teams to translate goals into clear short, mid, and long-term action plans. The outcome is a Project Funnel that organizes and focuses teams around key initiatives and projects.

D. Facilitating Implementation

We can act as project coaches and facilitators to the implementation teams through conducting team building and project management training sessions. We help teams identify obstacles in project implementation and assist them in identifying potential solutions. We train leaders in the Art of Leading Change and Transformation.

E. Creating an Operating Mechanism

To create a sustainable strategic planning process, we help you link your strategies with your operational processes which include budgeting and human capital management. To sustain momentum and accountability, we assist organizations in developing a repeatable operational process for project progress reviews.
