Strategy-In-Action: Marrying Planning, People and Performance (Global Leader Series) (Volume 3)
by Edward J. Borey, Thomas D. Zweifel.
The problem is, traditional planning no longer guarantees success. Rapid change, uncertainty, new technologies and a flatter world call for a new approach.
The award-winning Strategy-In-Action shows how companies ended the long-standing divorce between planners and implementers. One saved $200m from people power, another made €74m from innovation.
Zweifel, strategy & performance expert and award-winning author, and Borey, CEO and turnaround guru, use their experience at Fortune 500 companies and SMEs, UN/government agencies and the military to offer a turn-key methodology that yields quick wins and stands the test of time.
CEOs, senior managers and strategists will find a systematic 7-step roadmap:
* 11 differences of Strategy-In-Action: a checklist for your dynamic strategy, pp32-33.
* 6 ways to move from silos to alignment among multiple stakeholders, pp42-53.
* How to overcome pushback or indifference--and maximize buy-in--by giving voice to dissenters without losing control, pp54-57.
* 4 powerful questions for a shared understanding of the whole--including best practices and checklists, pp58-59.
* How to get intelligence from far-flung locations less invested in the status quo and more open to innovation, pp60-61.
* 3 proven tools to align on a strategic intent as magnet for action and filter for operational decisions, pp77-80.
* 7 steps for building a dynamic strategy roadmap back from the future, pp34-36, with examples (even client flipcharts, of course anonymous).
* The shocking truth about metrics. How to drive execution from a single dashboard with 5 KPIs, pp99-104.
* How to foster a leadership mindset. As Peter Drucker said, culture eats strategy for breakfast. Eye-opening use cases, pp131-142.
* 6 rules for getting quick wins, screening out losers and getting feedback from the action. Actionable cases, pp146-157.
* ... and finally, How to control the momentum. Use the Worksheet on p197 to drive the whole process with ease and position yourself as a trusted strategy guru.
