Strategy Delivery -

Clarity?

Deepteam sees Strategy as the pathway from a current state to a future state in which our organisation delivers more of it's purpose.


We see organisations containing many strategies - at the organisation level, within departments and cross-department endeavours. Strategy development is therefore a key busienss activity throughout the organisation.


For those involved in the strategic process - how can an integrated organisation help them?

Every strategic process is different, but they all need reliable information:


  • Clarity of purpose
  • Current organisation state - capability, assets, operating model - strength and weakness
  • Owner / shareholder / senior level expectations
  • Regulatory impositions and imperatives
  • Opportunities and threats

The challenge for the Strategy Development Team is to take in these drivers and produce a high level Vision which encapsulates:


  • The value will the organisation deliver
  • How it will deliver value
  • What are the key steps and decision points to enable it to deliver value


Clearly this is a huge simplification of a complex and iterative process!

The challenge for the Strategy Implementation Team is to turn the Vision picture into actionable items for the organisation in terms of:


  • Business as Usual expectations of performance - Targets for Busienss Units / Departments
  • Value Creation expectations - Objectives and Targets for Product Groups to drive future Value Generation
  • Change expectations - Objectives for change programmes to shape the organisation as it needs to be


The hard part is to deploy leadership time, funds and resources to accountable people to empower them appropriately, and to cascade the intent through the organisation.

Clearly - aside from the challenges of Strategy Development itself there are challenges in:


  • The basis of the vision for the organisation not being clear based on the opportunities, threats, imperatives and goals
  • Translation of the Strategy for the organisation into actionable items for the organisation


We believe the answer to these issues comprises of:

Enablers


  • Strategic Process
  • Integrated Governance Framework
  • Information and Data Capability
  • Business Support - to operate the Strategic Process and Integrated Governance


Technology


  • Corporate RAID
  • Document Library
  • OKR Platform
  • Prioritisation tools
  • Milestone Planning
  • Resource Planning
  • Finance Planning


RAID - Risk, Action, Issue and Decision

OKR - Objective and Key Results

Culture Change


  • Current State Assessment - of current capability
  • Periodic Review of Purpose, Business Drivers
  • Enabled people
  • Working Strategy Operating Model
  • Adopted Strategy Information Model
  • Operation of Integrated Governance
  • Fair Accountability

How does your organisation stack up in these areas?
