Strategic Connect
A company's strategy is only as strong as its implementation and adoption by individuals throughout the organisation.
Your strategy is the ultimate source of your competitive advantage. It defines, in a unique way, how you set out to achieve your Organisation's Purpose.
Strategic Connect™ is a holistic process which creates a compelling connection between each individual and the organisation’s strategy.
Strategic Connect usually includes three elements:
Developing and Defining Purpose
Organisational purpose is the foundation for all competitive advantage. Teams who understand their purpose are unified, motivated and set higher goals. They have the essential pre-requisite for all strategic decision-making and have the confidence to develop their unique competencies and advantages.
Developing and Defining Purpose is facilitated process that leads teams to an understanding of their direction, organisational competencies and purpose.
Strategic Facilitation
Strategic Facilitation is a structured process through which a Vaughan Govier facilitator leads a management team through a purpose - strategy - implementation design cycle. The team will examine their current situation against their purpose and will go on to develop superior strategic options and then to create a plan for their strategic implementation.
This is valuable at any time, however it is often used as part of a periodic work planning or budgeting cycle. As anyone who has been through a strategic planning, budgeting or planning process is aware there are strong psychological and social influences which prevent the important issues from being addressed. This process creates a safe environment for contribution, a foundation for collaboration, provokes broader thinking and the consideration of a much wider range of options.
Connect with the Organisation
The final and essential step is to create a connection and a higher level of commitment between each individual and the organisation's success. This will empower and drives people to make stronger individual decisions, to take stronger actions, to use the organisation’s resources more efficiently and to influence others both inside and outside the organisation through every interaction with them.
This process typically encompasses seminars and workshops combined with targeted individual & team support through coaching and Corporate Pilot™.
