Have Your Strategies and Plans Grown Stale?
Like home-baked bread, strategies deteriorate with time in this fast-paced world. Since they lack expiration dates, astute managers must periodically review and update their strategies and plans to keep them fresh. But how?
To assist you, Terry has developed a ten-step strategic management road map that incorporates the LEAD-THINK-PLAN-ACT themes.
When working with clients, we always walk through the LEAD Steps One and Two together to set the foundation. For clients who need a strategy refresh, we proceed to the THINK Steps Three, Four and Five. If the strategy is reasonably clear, we can begin with the PLAN Steps Six, Seven, and Eight. The ACT Steps Nine and Ten set up the implementation and learning to complete the journey.
Getting the right answers requires asking the right questions. We’ve developed several questions for each step that are often ignored, or taken for granted. Give yourself the gift of clarity and strategic excellence with Are Your Strategies Growing Stale? Freshen Yours Up.
Start From Wherever You Are Now
Few organizations are blessed with operationally useful plans that neatly align up, down and across. Gaps always exist. The good news is that those gaps can be filled at the team, group, department, business unit, or enterprise level. All that’s needed to get started is a committed leader. You!
To begin your Strategy Refresh with momentum, we’ll conduct a “Start Smart” day of interactive discussion, training, and action planning with key players. That gets everyone on the same page and produces a clear game plan with objectives, success measures, assumptions, tasks, and responsibilities.
Each client is different and so is the focus.
