Most strategic plans don't fail because the practice doesn't work. They fail because the analysis behind them is incomplete and the choices are never made clearly. In an MIT Sloan study of 7,600 managers across 262 companies, 55% could not name even one of their company's top five priorities.
This free webinar takes you through the full strategic analysis process, from reading your organisation's internal and external environment honestly to building an implementation plan your teams can own and measure. You will see how each step connects to the next, so your strategy moves from a document on a shelf to a system that delivers results.
What we will cover
Internal analysis frameworks. How to assess your organisation's capabilities, resources and performance using customer evidence, not assumptions.
External analysis frameworks. How to read the macro and industry forces that should actually change your decisions.
Blue Ocean Strategy. How to move away from crowded markets and create uncontested space where competition matters less.
How to make strategic choices. Where to play, how to win, and what your organisation will deliberately stop doing.
Formulating objectives. How to write objectives that are specific, measurable, and able to be proven wrong.
KPI selection and target setting. How to choose a small number of meaningful measures and set targets that stretch without breaking credibility.
Implementation planning using the Balanced Scorecard. How to cascade strategy into measures, targets, initiatives and named owners at every level.
Who should attend
Chief executives, executive and senior management teams, strategy and planning professionals, HR and performance management practitioners, board members, and anyone responsible for developing or executing strategy.
