Overview
Strategy deployment (also known as Hoshin Kanri and policy deployment) is a structured approach to clarifying an organization’s most urgent improvement needs — and creating organization-wide alignment and focus on how best to achieve one’s strategy.
Organizations that create and successfully manage a well-crafted strategy deployment plan achieve far greater results in a defined time period than those that don’t. Side benefits include a more cohesive leadership team and greater employee engagement.
In this practical, full-day workshop, Karen Martin introduces participants to a vital preparation step she developed — conducting “Extra Effort Inventory” — that enables organizations to create a more realistic and results-driven approach to executing their strategy.
Key learning objectives
- The common barriers to achieving organizational strategy and how well-executed strategy deployment overcomes them
- The requirements for defining organizational priorities, including a clear strategy to begin with and “true north” key performance indicators
- The steps and typical timeframes for creating an effective strategy deployment plan
- A step-by-step approach for conducting “Extra Effort Inventory”
- Facilitation tips for creating the plan
- How to use “catch ball” to gain organization-wide alignment and create deep engagement at all levels
- How to manage the strategy deployment plan
- How to mitigate leadership misalignment — at any stage — on organizational strategy and/or how best to achieve it
Participants will also receive electronic copies of two high-value resources they can tailor to develop their strategy deployment plan and define and retain focus on the priorities that truly matter.
