In times of crisis, alignment on a shared strategy is even more crucial, and more elusive. Frustrated by organizational silos, fragmentation or resistance to change? Tugs-of-war, with everyone pulling in different directions? Can’t seem to get real buy-in or jumpstart implementation?
The award-winning Strategy-In-Action shows how companies ended the long-standing divorce between planners and implementers. One saved $200m from people power, another made €74m from innovation.
The problem is, traditional planning no longer guarantees success. Rapid change, uncertainty, new technologies and a flatter world call for a new approach: Think Big, Start Small, Move Fast.
Zweifel, strategy & performance expert and award-winning author, and Borey, CEO and turnaround guru, use their experience at Fortune 500 companies, SMEs, UN/government agencies, and the military to offer a turn-key methodology that yields quick wins and stands the test of time.
CEOs, senior managers and strategists will find a systematic 7-step roadmap:
• 11 differences of Strategy-In-Action (e.g. Strategy for vs. Strategy with): a checklist for your dynamic strategy.
• 6 ways to move from silos to alignment among multiple stakeholders.
• How to overcome resistance or indifference—and maximize buy-in. Ask these key questions and give voice to dissenters without losing control.
.• 4 powerful questions for a shared understanding of the whole—including best practices and checklists.
• How to get intelligence from far-flung locations that are less invested in the status quo and more open to innovation.
• 3 proven tools to align on a strategic intent as a magnet for action and filter for operational decisions.
• 7 steps for building a dynamic strategy roadmap back from the future. First you do a SWOT, then plan, then act, right? Wrong. Never plan from the circumstances, with examples (even flipcharts, of course anonymous).
• The shocking truth about metrics. Many strategists use the wrong indicators, with unintended/disastrous outcomes. How to drive execution from a single dashboard with 5 key metrics.
• How to foster a leadership mindset. As Peter Drucker said, culture eats strategy for breakfast. How do you get your team obsessed with winning? Eye-opening use cases.
• 6 rules for getting quick wins, screening out losers and getting feedback from the action. The key: Catalyze path-breaking action, then have the action inform the strategy. Actionable cases.
• … and finally, How to control the momentum. Use the Worksheet to drive the whole process with ease and position yourself as a trusted strategy guru.
