BUSINESS STRATEGIC CLARITY AND ALIGNMENT
A clear, succinct and easy to recal strategy is essential to business and team success. A clearly defined strategy is one of the key reasons organisations succeed in their ambitions as it aligns behaviour, empowers decision making and removes inefficiencies. The lack of a clear strategy causes conflicting goals, siloed behaviours, excess conflict and systematic inefficiencies.
When we work with executive teams to clarity the business strategy, we operate with a number of key principles:
We assume our clients are the 'experts in the room'.
We ask the right questions because we know what needs to be there to maximize business, team and individual performance.
We know that when a team co-create the strategy, we get a 6 fold increase in the commitment to it and the accountability to deliver it.
How clearly aligned are your team on the Strategy – questions to ask yourself or your team:
- Is each team member able to articulate the strategy and vision in a consistent way?
- Do they know what the strategic priorities are to deliver on that strategy?
- Are they clear on the goals that will tell them the strategy is working?
- How clear are they on what they are accountable for to deliver the strategy?
