Would you be surprised to learn that only 5% of your workforce understands the
company's strategy? Research shows this to be the case. Did you know that only
15% of executive teams spend more than one hour per month discussing strategy?
Furthermore, only 25% of managers have incentives linked to strategy, and only
40% of organizations link budgets to strategy. Given that nine out of ten
organizations fail to execute strategy effectively, this solution can be
invaluable.
Solution:
Using a series of structured customer and competitor analyses, EDI assists your
organization with narrowing the company's focus to its primary strategy.
Following these decisions at the senior management level, we then help
facilitate the alignment of the organization structure and resources across
multiple levels in the organization. The program includes the identification of
key Strategic Initiatives and the development of a comprehensive Communication
Strategy to ensure that the strategic message is clear and motivating at all
levels in the organization. This helps build the commitment and critical mass
for change. Options within this program package can include Change Management
Programs to overcome resistance to change, Aligning Tactics with
Strategy Programs to align department and individual strategies with
the organization strategy, and/or Managing Growth Programs to balance
internal and external growth initiatives within the strategic focus.
Performance measurements are included in all programs to enhance accountability
and follow-through.
