Strategy Deployment
What is Strategy Deployment?
Strategy Deployment (SD) is the process of implementing the organizational vision and strategy in a systematic and structured way. It’s a proven process helping people within your organization work more effectively in the same strategic direction. The key to success lies in focus and priority setting, in gaining consensus on a select number of goals and in the non-debatable translation of these goals throughout the entire organization.
How does Stanwick support you in deploying your strategy?
Our approach consists of aligning strategies within your organization, creating focus, setting priorities and translating these into critical goals and action plans. We take special interest to ensure that all co-workers are engaged in- and committed to- this process. Committed co-workers ensure a smooth roll-out of actions. The SD process with Stanwick consists of the following steps:
- Conducting an “As-is”- analysis to identify strengths and areas for improvement of the current strategy deployment system.
- Facilitating the process of setting strategic priorities.
- Translating these priorities into specific mid-term goals and associated "Key Performance Indicators" (KPI).
- Defining yearly action plans with appropriate KPIs. Challenges may be department-based or can be translated into global cross-departmental projects. Roles and responsibilities of co-workers are clarified, reward and performance management systems are installed.
- Developing measurement systems to monitor the progress of the strategy deployment. Where possible, these measurements will be made visual. Visualization facilitates and reinforces the strategy.
- Follow-up of the strategy deployment is an integral part of our approach. Lessons learnt will be taken into account during the next strategic cycle.
Our Deployment of Strategy approach guarantees:
- Flexible and timely reaction to external changes.
- Better coordination between Group and Business Unit level (and coordination with supporting units).
- Focus on what is really important.
- Transparency in communication and mobilization of your co-workers.
- Clear, visual measurements and results.
- Every employee's contribution is valued.
