The 5 Principles of a Strategy-Focused Organization 1.Mobilize leadership for change. Senior Management must ensure that… Strategic Plans in individual departments for the VPFA must agree with those of the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). Resources must be properly managed in the appropriate areas. All areas of the VPFA are engaging in continuous improvement efforts. The focus will be on creating a continuous feedback process to access the effectiveness of stated strategies within the entire Division. Creation and Maintenance of a system to monitor these activities… the Balanced Scorecard approach to performance management.

The 5 Principles of a Strategy-Focused Organization Cont. 2.Translate the strategy to operational terms. Each department: Must develop Vision and Mission statements and Strategic Plans that are aligned with the overall Division’s Vision and Mission statements and Strategic Plans Each department: Must develop Vision and Mission statements and Strategic Plans that are aligned with the overall Division’s Vision and Mission statements and Strategic Plans A comprehensive tool must be put into to place to measure the effectiveness of the strategic planning process.

What is the driving reason for the VPFA to implement the Balanced Scorecard in the division? What is Our “Burning Platform?” The Balanced Scorecard Leadership Team must commit to support this endeavor 100%

Questions we should be asking ourselves: 1. Do our priorities, goals and objectives align with the mission and vision of the entire division? Do they line up with the mission and vision of the University? 2.Does our division have the right priorities, goals and objectives to achieve the University’s priorities, goals and objectives? 3.Are we doing the right things in the right way to accomplish our priorities, goals and objectives?

Questions Cont.: 4. How do we know if we are fulfilling our priorities, goals and objectives? 5. Are the managerial decisions we are making to run our business on a daily basis driven by data? 6. Are the managerial decisions made using real time data or historical information? 7. Are we pro-active or reactive as an organization?
