In-house facilitators – too close to the problem

Professional planners – only one element of the problem

Consultants without experience – don’t understand your business

No mapping of strategy and execution – no tools to execute and measure

Off the shelf tools are not the right size – either too complex or too simple

Why the Status Quo does NOT work

No track record of results – just theory and “feel good” words

Nine times out of ten, organizations without an easy-to-use software project and collaboration tool to keep the strategy connected to the daily tasks, change nothing. Nada. Zip.

The power of strategy is it’s ability to align people and focus activities for financial improvement, enhanced customer service and just an overwhelming good feeling that each individual’s work matters.

Don’t be a slave to the system.

I came away with a clear vision of how to address our goals and objectives, the ability to clearly convey these to other employees and the confidence to put the plan into action and not just another exercise in self evaluation.
