STRATEGY-IN-ACTION
The
Strategy-in-Action Process
What
challenges does this process address?
- Lack
of buy-in: The organization faces a business challenge but
people don’t identify with your plan
- Lack
of vision: People have lost the vision in the day-to-day
activities
- Lack
of alignment: You have long meetings without decisions or
results. Stakeholders
are butting heads
- Lack
of commitment: There’s little ownership of the organization’s
mission below the top
- Resistance:
You get push-back on a change effort. How can you rally
your team for strategic actions and results?
- Lack
of results: Implementation does not match the planning,
resulting in erosion of competitive position
- Missed
opportunities: Fragmented planning has led to missed strategic
opportunities or lost customers
- Rigid
blueprints: Strategy design is divorced from implementation
- Result:
fragmentation, wrong decisions, and unnecessary sunk costs
