When the Offsite's Over
Three Ways to Embed Strategy into Ops
1. When the Offsite's Over
Imagine... Your team is gathered for a strategic planning offsite.
The coffee and donuts are ordered.
Everyone feels a sense of camaraderie (or boredom...😊)
Maybe there's a fun ice breaker or even some sticky notes.
The team generates some great ideas and a strategy for the days ahead.
Then you walk away --- and ---
NOTHING HAPPENS.
Life is busy - it's back to business as usual.
Here are three ways to overcome this challenge & embed strategy into ops...
2. Three Ways to Embed Strategy into Ops
Lead – A strong leader communicating the “why” is critical.
Does your team understand and believe in the strategy to cascade it across the business?
Are the right stakeholders with diverse perspectives included throughout the process?
Is communication clear, concise, and consistent?
Anchor – For a strategy to “stick”, it needs to anchor within the business.
Does the organization have the right people, processes, and technology?
Is training needed? Infrastructure changes?
Something else?
Manage, Measure, & Mature – What gets measured gets done.
Are there monthly, quarterly, and annual meetings to review the strategy?
Do you have a visible dashboard to ensure everyone is aligned?
Are individual goals tied to the overarching goals of the business?
The good news is that we don't have to do all of these at once.
Just pick one and start today.
