Strategy and Policy Deployment

Devising a deliverable strategy and then deploying it effectively throughout the organisation requires an approach that ensures that people are included in the strategy process. This is achieved through the process of agreeing individual objectives and the measurement processes by which achievement of objectives is established.

Senior Management should be focussed on ‘The Vital Few’ priorities whilst the rest of the organisation continues to manage the operations. Ideally, senior management should concentrate on 2 or 3 change management projects which are then deployed throughout the organisation using the deployment process.

The communication process is critical in the successful deployment of strategy. It isn’t sufficient that everyone knows the strategy. It is essential that each individual in an organisation only works on and gets measured on activities that deliver the strategy. Successful strategy deployment hinges on individuals relating their day-to-day tasks to the delivery of the strategic goals.

Effective Strategy and Policy Deployment creates the focus required to implement Lean Operations. It avoids waste by eliminating non-value adding activities that do not support the organisation’s objectives and it clearly defines the priorities for improvement. Combined with a Six Sigma business process improvement programme, Strategy Deployment and Lean Operations lead to best-in-class performance.
