Strategic Consciousness Assessment Workshop
Strategically Conscious organizations are those that can simultaneously develop the
capabilities of their people, processes, suppliers and markets, while evolving
a unique, anticipatory, portfolio of offerings. Organizations that excel at
the ongoing and iterative development of their “whole system” in
this way create high degrees of competitive differentiation and “market
non-displace-ability" and are conscious of the “pre-emergent” forces
in their markets.
Less than 5% of companies have a strategy that represents their organization's
full potential. In our private, two-day Strategic Consciousness Assessment
Workshop we'll guide you through a consideration of your strategy using
our need a modifier here human technologies frameworks. You'll assess
whether your company has a distinctive, compelling, and highly relevant
strategy that accelerates development as it's executed with precision
against rigorous and exacting performance criteria.
Format:
Your Senior Management, and ideally other cross-functional Leaders
in your organization, will:
- Evaluate your strategy relative to the “modes of
strategic direction” and determine where your current strategy
fits in relation to your company’s potential. (Less than 5%
are where they could/should be.)
- Test your direction against four core elements required for a
strategy to be sustained through time
- Assess the quality of your current strategy and your capability
to deliver on the strategic direction you have set
- Audit how well you have structured your business practices and
management processes in order to be able to deliver on your strategy
- Discover how you are positioned relative to your competition on
a “hierarchy of value creation”
- Validate the degree of alignment that Leadership has with your
strategy and the level of Will they have to execute on it
Benefits:
- A holographic view of your organization that will allow you to
see if your actions and what you deliver look like what you say your
strategy is. More often than not the “actual strategy” is
not the same as the stated strategy.
- Agreement on where you rank relative to “successful strategy
execution” companies, based on the viability of your current
strategy
- Agreement on critical arenas where your strategy may or may not
hold up in competitive environment and where you need to upgrade
- A clear picture of the degree of will and ability of your leadership
to align your company behind the strategy, so you are all on the
same page.
- Understanding of how well you have designed your organization
to support delivery of your specific strategy and how you compare
to “successful strategic execution” companies (hint:
design must match the specific strategy)
- Insight into the nine interrelated arenas where your organization
must stay flexible and integrated in order to deliver on a strategy
- Awareness of the six elements that determine the overall health
of your organization and where you have significant shortfalls that
must be addressed.
- An introduction to InterOctave’s™ comprehensive, proven
system for Regenerative Business Design. This “Strategic
Assessment” workshop is only one module in InterOctave’s™ larger “Strategic
Intensive Series”, a “whole systems” technology
for the next era of business performance.
