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?

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.
