Have a BIG New Year?

 I've been looking back at what I've been up to over the last year explaining and evangelising the BIG Framework developed by the BIG CIC.

I've also been listening very carefully, and I've learned these 5 things:

• Our organisations are led by people who can translate purpose into vision and into a strategic plan - but the translation and sustainment of that intent into clear objectives and targets is less easy.
• Although technology to cascade objectives and related accountabilities exists, many organisations still favour capture and communication and control using stand alone documents
• People think strategy delivery is only about change, when in fact it relies on product development and business as usual performance too - which has implications for prioritisation and delivery management 
• While many organisations have support functions for projects, few task their PMOs to operate governance for all aspects of strategy delivery
• Even when an organisation generally accepts there are issues related to strategy delivery, there is a general reticence to 'poke' the strategic delivery process

What can we do about this?

The answer is, quite simply, NOTHING. Unless:

1. we recognise the issue and opportunity
2. we can make our own mental pictures of what the operating model for strategy delivery looks like
3. we understand the roadmap and business case for change

For small to medium sized organisations who are encountering the need manage strategy systematically for the first time, this can sound daunting - but it's all about building relevant capability for future scale, not imposing a stifling bureaucracy. 

Hence - starting in January 2025, 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, 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.

What might this experience feel like?

I recently ran an open First Steps session with the APM Governance Interest Network, where we focused on HOW to get improving strategy delivery improvement on the executive agenda. This included a practical walk through of the process and group material creation based on example content.

• what are your triggers to do something, who do you need to reach to get moving?
• capturing current state - we will use the BIG Current State Canvass format to capture pains / gains, and explore the BIG Readiness model
• defining the high-level vision for a BIG-based Strategy Delivery "solution" (it is not just IT) for attendees
