Part 2 - Prioritization
Together, we will review and prioritize each area with your strategic goals in mind. This will give you a valuable hit-list of quick wins and high-impact improvements, along with a lightweight gap analysis to inform what changes need to happen.
For each area, we will discuss:
- How to allocate attention / time to maximize impact for the organization
- What is currently happening in each area, to understand the present state
- What result we wish to see in each area when things are running well
- What action we need to take to move from the present state to the desired result
Part 3 - Direction
Finally, we will use the prioritized list to derive a high-level plan that sets the direction for improvement in your organization. This will give you a credible and efficient approach to driving meaningful change.
To build a directional plan, we will:
- Select which of the prioritized improvements to plan and implement first
- Determine responsibility "swim lanes" for key owners within your organization
- Use the earlier gap analysis to inform a high-level action plan to slot into steps and assign to owners
