Operational Alignment

A plan to ‘run’ and ‘change’ your organization at the same time.

Vision without systems thinking ends up painting lovely pictures of the future with no deep understanding of the forces that must be mastered to move from here to there.

-Peter Senge

• Do your managers know how to build operating plans?
• Is miscommunication costing you on key projects?
• Can you effectively track your teams’ goals and projects?
• Do your departments function in ‘silos,’ unable to unite around the strategy?

You have built a great team. We can help get everyone aligned.    

Discipline III guides your team through a series of best practices to get everyone aligned so you can both ‘run’ and ‘change’ your business. Here are all the questions you will answer:

 

1. Plan Engagement   |   How do we engage everyone around shared purpose for this planning cycle?
2. Operating Plans   |   What is our group’s responsibilities and how will we meet them?
3. Project Planning   |   How do we drive change to close the gaps?
4. Individual Plans   |   What are my responsibilities?
