The Right People + The Right Strategy = Unstoppable Success!
A solid strategy and direction help set a path . . .
Most leaders would agree that having a strategy -- a focus, goals for growth, and a plan of action -- is an undoubtedly vital element of running an organization.
Leaders spend a considerable amount of time, energy, and money identifying a strategy, acquiring and implementing the right equipment, technology, and processes. Of course they do! Otherwise, they leave themselves wide open to unimaginable risk. The fact is that over 60% of employees state they have no idea what their organization's strategy is, or how their job fits into the success of the strategic plan.
. . . and the right team enables your organization to stay on course and on pace.
We know that “people issues” can have a negative ripple effect on productivity, quality, sales, customer service, and growth. Having the right people implement your strategy -- whether he’s the one who can properly run the equipment or she’s running client meetings -- means you won’t fall into the bucket with the many, many organizations whose mismatched roles, lack of organizational clarity, and employee turnover cost them thousands upon thousands of dollars annually in lost productivity.
Often, we encounter organizations that are examining strategy and workforce development simultaneously, but they lack a comprehensive focus that explores how the two align. They fail to see successful growth scenarios for success and how their people should fulfill the strategy.
The kind of people and strategy we’re talking about really is possible.
At Insight, we see that people drive organizations. Your people plus your strategy forms the DNA of your organization, and it’s that DNA that sets you apart, makes you unique, and gives you your competitive advantage. And when you align your people with your strategy and reach optimum performance, that’s an untouchable recipe that your competition cannot replicate.
Ask yourself the following questions about yourself and your organization:
Do you have active compelling business scenarios, a strong brand proposition, and focused market strategies that are aligned with the trends and uncertainties of our time?
When was the last time you developed and evaluated your strategic initiatives and communicated them to your management team?
Do you agree that you have the right people on board?
Are your people aligned correctly in the right roles?
How are you tracking their skills and development?
Are your strategies well outlined and broken down into measurable, time-specific tasks that can be assigned to the right individuals and teams within your organization?
It’s a busy business world, and Insight can help you align people with strategy and see the results with BLOOM® Team Leadership Platform.
