Your (strategic) wish is my (delivery) command

If only it were that simple!?

Implementing an organisation’s strategy successfully is a challenge: managing changing drivers, balancing priorities for funds and resources, achieving long term ambitions vs operating day-to day. Strategic initiatives can falter and fail.

What is stopping you delivering strategy outcomes effectively and efficiently? Is that subject just a little bit sensitive to probe?

This online event was originally presented to a public group in March 2022, and presented again in June 22 for the ROI PMI PMO Community of Practice. It is now available to book privately.

It presents what we think – and is primarily offered to discuss how organisations can become more effective at maintaining and delivering their strategy, with the opportunity for participants to share their experiences, contribute to the discussion, and most importantly – to step back from what you see every day to realise what you don’t.

We cover:

Introduction
Problems and Solution Outline
Stakeholder Engagement
Issues and Responses
Benefit to roadmap to programme
Outcomes and Expectations
Next Step

Last time this was run, we had significant participation in the discussion, which surfaced over 100 key points. Attendees had roles such as:

CEO
Director
Head of PMO
Head of Strategy
Head of Transformation

Out of this group, we surfaced areas of concern within

Information
Integrated Governance
Operational delivery
People and Culture
Resources & priorities
Strategic Management

We are able to use the workshop as an initial engagement within individual organisations, where we build trust with key strategy players and tease out their perspectives and priorities on pain points through interview.

We can show how a follow on interview process would be supplemented by a more structured readiness assessment – which would identify areas that the interviews could not reach.

We can offer attendees 2 paths as a follow on:

to review the strategic information it held and was managing to – with an offer to support the organisation validating its strategy
review the strategy formulation and delivery operation – to ensure is fit to operate the strategic process and balance that with business as usual and value generation activity

We believe that attendees leave with some key take-aways:

"The problems I see in strategy formulation and delivery are not just my view"
"There is a framework I can use to frame the situation and a vision for the future with"
"I understand there will be inertia to overcome, but that there is an engagement approach which will build trust, enable consensus to be built, and decision to do something to be made"
