Strategy into Projects
Article prepared by:
David Dunning – lead author, Business Integrated Governance
Many of us lead organisations based on a clear purpose, vision and implied objectives and decision points. Some of our strategy delivery has to come through change - and we can use project and programme management to deliver change.
However - strategies exist at all levels within our organisation - strategy is not just top down - we must also take advantage of bottom up innovation.
Furthermore - much of our purpose and related strategy is achieved through business performance - not change - and we have to get on with the business of operating for performance while change happens. Are we being too narrow thinking of strategy to delivery as being focused on projects?
At this event, hosted by the APM and IASP, speakers (including myself) will be talking about - and panel discussing - strategic management and project management. My perspective will cover:
- how we can cascade into projects to achieve strategic objectives
- the challenge of aligning bottom up ideation & strategic flexibility
- balancing priorities between operations, value creation and change
If you are a strategy professional concerned with delivery, a delivery professional concerned with strategy alignment - or simply the director that wants your objectives hit reliably without squabbling - why not attend?
If you would like to know more about the connection of strategy to delivery - and how to align maintain alignment between purpose evaluation, strategic envisioning, planning and prioritisation, and delivery against strategic and operational objectives - think BIG:

Alternatively spend a few hours discussing this with us?
Deepteam is delighted to offer free half day consultations to organisations that want to explore their issues / opportunities, to visualise what an integrated operating model for strategy delivery will look like (one aspect of which is prioritisation), and how to build a roadmap and outline business case.
We offer the opportunity to increase strategic outcome delivery, with more agility, efficiency and effectiveness.
