Seminar Overview:

A good strategy can only work through integrated and structured implementation and management of change. Unfortunately, many organizations are facing substantial challenges aligning and integrating elements of the strategic framework and sustaining performance improvement. Some of the more typical difficulties they face include:

• An apparent inability to integrate strategy and the organization’s business plans
• A failure to ensure that business objectives are cascaded to all levels within the organization
• A lack of alignment between business processes and procedures and the organization’s strategy
• The failure or abandonment of projects due to ineffective project planning and monitoring
• The absence of systematic resource allocation to support the organization in allocating the right resource to the right task at the right time
• Insufficient management information to make informed management decisions
• A lack of a systematic risk management system associated with the business strategy to monitor activities that could impact the achievement of the strategy
• Failure to effectively manage changes in a planned and systematic fashion

Making Strategy Work: Leading Effective Change is a hands-on workshop that provides an overview of the strategy framework in an organization and how its components interact and influence each other. Only when gaining a clear understanding of the big picture can management make informed decisions and initiatives to effectively and efficiently manage and lead change towards continuous improvements.
