STRATEGIES

WHAT ARE STRATEGIES? Short statements that guide decision making They are derived from the Mission Statement, Operational Goals, Long-Term Goals and Culture Statement They help organizations design Work Systems, Work Processes and the Strategic Plan.

WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT? “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” Peter Drucker “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” Peter Drucker

WHO SHOULD KNOW THEM? IF EVERY EMPLOYEE WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION MAKES DECISIONS – THEN THE ANSWER IS EVERYONE!

HOW ARE THEY USED? They Guide… Decision making Creation of Strategic Plan Creation & Execution of processes and work systems

HOW DO WE HANDLE THEM? We begin with LEADERSHIP We understand it is a journey not an one-time event We derive them from our Mission Statement, Operational Goals, Long- Term Goals, and Culture Statement

WHEN DO THEY CHANGE? Validation: – Annual Strategic Planning Process (Step E) – ISO – Every Two Years (Processes) Think Dynamism Think Agility THE ONLY THING CONSTANT IS CHANGE, SO YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO BE AGILE.

ARE THEY EFFECTIVE? Measure!!! – Are you attaining your goals? – Are your results improving helping you reach your long-term goals?
