Strategy-In-Action: Marrying Planning, People and Performance

Strategy-In-Action: Marrying Planning, People and Performance (21st Century Leader Series)

Frustrated by organizational silos, fragmentation or resistance to change? Is there a tug-of-war, with everyone pulling in different directions? Canâ€™t seem to align on a common strategy, get real buy-in or jumpstart implementation?

Problem is, traditional planning no longer guarantees success. Rapid change, uncertainty, new technologies and a flatter world call for a new approach.

The award-winning Strategy-In-Action shows how companies ended the long-standing divorce between planners and implementers. One saved $200m from people power, another made â‚¬74m from innovation.

Zweifel, strategy & performance expert and award-winning author, and Borey, CEO and turnaround guru, use their experience at Fortune 500 companies, SMEs, UN/government agencies, and the military to offer a turn-key methodology that yields quick wins and stands the test of time.

CEOs, senior managers and strategists will find a systematic 7-step roadmap:

â€¢ 11 differences of Strategy-In-Action (e.g. Strategy for vs. Strategy with): a checklist for your dynamic strategy, pp32-33.

â€¢ 6 ways to move from silos to alignment among multiple stakeholders, pp42-53.

â€¢ How to overcome resistance or indifferenceâ€”and maximize buy-in. Ask these key questions and give voice to dissenters without losing control, pp54-57

.â€¢ 4 powerful questions for a shared understanding of the wholeâ€”including best practices and checklists, pp58-59.

â€¢ How to get intelligence from far-flung locations that are less invested in the status quo and more open to innovation, pp60-61.

â€¢ 3 proven tools to align on a strategic intent as a magnet for action and filter for operational decisions, pp77-80.

â€¢ 7 steps for building a dynamic strategy roadmap back from the future. First you do a SWOT, then plan, then act, right? Wrong. Never plan from the circumstances, pp34-36, with examples (even flipcharts, of course anonymous).

â€¢ The shocking truth about metrics. Many strategists use the wrong indicators, with unintended/disastrous outcomes. How to drive execution from a single dashboard with 5 key metrics, pp99-104.

â€¢ How to foster a leadership mindset. As Peter Drucker said, culture eats strategy for breakfast. How do you get your team obsessed with winning? Eye-opening use cases, pp131-142.

â€¢ 6 rules for getting quick wins, screening out losers and getting feedback from the action. The key: Catalyze path-breaking action, then have the action inform the strategy. Actionable cases, pp146-157.

â€¢ â€¦ and finally, How to control the momentum. Use the Worksheet on p197 to drive the whole process with ease and position yourself as a trusted strategy guru.
