Strategic Transformation Planning & Management
the process of creating and implementing a detailed, integrated plan to realize the organization's 3-5 year vision, goals and objectives.

Symptoms

• The organization's functions, SBU's and/or departments operate as silos, occasionally at odds or cross-purpose with one another.
  
• Organizational Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) become disconnected from the top-level KPI's the further down in the organization you go.
• Key projects are out of sync with other key projects upon which they depend
• Poor focus
  • Too many projects... not enough resources.
  • We add to the plate, but never take anything off the plate.
• Every year, we fall short of one or more objective.

How we help

• We work with Leadership Teams, from the enterprise level to the site / departmental level, to create and implement focused and aligned strategic Transformation Maps.
  • This is often done in conjunction with Leadership Team Alignment.
  • These Transformation Maps are segmented by theme and by time (generally quarters or years).
  • Accountability for planning and implementation of each theme is assigned to one or more Leadership Team members;  Responsibility for all of the themes is shared by the entire Leadership team.
• Leadership Team members have individual measures and rewards tied to specific projects and themes within the plan, as well as shared measures (and rewards) for success of the entire plan.
• Throughout implementation, we help the team stay focused on the plan
  • Assistance in detailed planning and program management (generally by theme)
  • Quarterly progress reviews & updates (including risk mitigation plans)
  • Adjust the plan as the situation dictates... being mindful of resource, time, quality and integration constraints

• We work with the Leadership team on a Stakeholder Analysis and Change Leadership plan to engage the organization effectively.
• Generally, a Transformation Map includes themes and significant projects to address Culture, Structure, People and Process... the more daring the strategy, the greater the efforts in these areas. 
  

Typical outcomes

• More effective resource allocation 
  
• Accelerated achievement of organizational goals
  
• Better risk planning and mitigation
