Strategy Delivery:

Somehow the Magic Happens?

When the go-do fits within controllable domains, we can expect results. But when our transformational change goes cross-business, value stream development and delivery involves several areas, often our business as usual effort is focused on bonus laden area targets - so how do we integrate, performance manage and make objective priority calls at the same time as our delivery context changes dynamically?

We should have - line of business systems, integration capability, data platforms and information management capability have matured. We know what innovation and agility look like and with the release of ISO 37000 and the Business Integrated Governance Framework - the good practice know-how is public.

David presented at the Association for Strategic Planning Global conference - theme being 'strategy in a right now world'. He spoke about known pains around strategy delivery, some reasons why we ignore good practice, outline modern information capability, reinforce good practice that is in the public domain - and explained how to get improvement initiatives off grounds that until now - may have seemed too stony to accept a solid foundation...
