What is more important than strategy?

There is only one thing more important than your business strategy...

The results your strategy has to deliver.

Getting sidetracked...

We have seen organisations become so focussed on implementing their strategy, they forget about the original results their strategy was to deliver.

We call this being activity focussed (rather than results focussed). 

An example of this is, achieving Quality accreditation.  Company ABC decides that getting ISO accredited is an excellent way to improve their quality.  But at some stage, getting accredited gets elevated to the end result, and the original end result of improving quality is forgotten.  The company celebrates its achievement of attaining accreditation, with no real analysis of the impact it has made on quality.  This is a clear example of where the strategy (accreditation) has become more important than the result (improved quality).

 

The only thing more important than strategy, is the result your strategy has to deliver.

Staying focussed

It is essential that strategy is always kept in context - strategy is simply the way you have decided to achieve your business goals (based on a number of parameters).

Therefore it is essential you continually assess:

  • How effectively the strategy is being implemented
  • What effect the strategy is having on your desired results
  • Whether the strategy is is still the most effective strategy for your business

Unique methodology

River Empowerment has developed a practical results-based, strategic management framework that makes linking strategy to measurable results easy.  All our consulting services and training workshops utilise this method.   We also teach this method through the workshops and training we provide through:
