Strategy Execution Appraisal (SEA)
What are your current capabilities in executing strategy? Gain insight into your current skills, knowledge and processes the exist within your management team, as well as more widely across your organisation.Based on four underlying principles of effective strategy execution, and involving a combination of survey and background interviews, the SEA helps your management team readily grasp the strengths and areas requiring development in order to ensure appropriate focus and response of a development programme.
A useful starting point for those who prefer a thorough diagnosis of current performance, prior to embarking on a change process.
Strategy Formulation
A starting point in pursuing a more rigorous strategic Navigation system in some cases is clarification of the strategy itself.Depending upon the size of the organisation, this process can take considerable time and effort.
Yet, processes used often appear to work from the basis that this is a blank sheet exercise, failing to harness the weekly discussions and effort expended in strategy related thinking.
DaPo Consulting facilitates a highly effective process to define strategy through a common sense framework, and through recognition of prior thought and decisions.
Ultimately, strategic themes are crystallised which act as foundational pillars as Balanced Scorecards are designed.
Implementation planning
Implementing the Balanced scorecard requires more than just using the tool and method. For sustainable use and a lasting and effective change process, a range of implementation considerations are necessary.
To ensure these are addressed in ways appropriate to your organisation, we suggest an implementation planning process.
This structured planning process, when conducted with a workshop of all key stakeholders will ensure clarity and agreement on critical implementation issues.
DaPo Consulting offers a framework for planning, and skilled facilitation, coupled with education based on our experience of numerous other successful and less than successful implementations.
Integrated Start up project
So that you can get started on the right foot, we can offer you comprehensive guidance from the early stages of design through to completion of your first review of strategic measures.
Our approach involves a practical introduction, and facilitates ownership from the outset so that your team maintains momentum long after we leave. Our facilitation aims to challenge the groups thinking and decision making whilst ensuring maximum involvement from stakeholders. Our involvement spans over 6 months, however involves surprisingly few days of consulting time, as we endeavour to involve your people in taking ownership.
Education workshops
In many cases, one or two initial champions have far greater knowledge and expertise than their peers and superiors.
To engage a wider group and gain agreement on the steps forward requires a deeper knowledge base, particularly of senior managers.
Education of these people is a delicate balance of ensuring relevant practical exposure with the risk of alienating or creating resistance.
From an executive briefing to a 1 day workshop, DaPo Consulting can help you conduct an educational workshop introducing the concept of the Balanced Scorecard to your people. These sessions are customised to your needs and time frame.
Design & Implementation Consulting
You may feel comfortable in facilitating your own design process, with assistance in background. Alternatively, you may be encountering some snags in transplanting the scorecard into the nervous system of your organisation. We can provide support and advice, through traditional interaction of face to face and telephone, or you may choose an online channel.
Facilitation Skill development
For many practitioners and internal change agents, the mechanics of the Balanced Scorecard pose less challenge than facilitating the discussion and decision making of a strong willed group of senior managers. This 2 day public program delivered by a highly skilled and experienced DaPo facilitator provides insights, awareness and practical skill development in the art and science of truly effective facilitation.
