Strategic Focus

Organisations today are looking at ways to drive performance and provide a sense of unity of purpose for employees to channel their efforts in the right direction.

Many senior management executives remain frustrated, however, in their attempts to develop strategy and their failure to provide a clear direction of where the organisation wants to be. This is often hampered by poorly written vision statements. Even with a vision and strategy in place, can we assume that all the senior management agrees with it?

There are two common problems with most strategic plans: Firstly, the plan and rationale have not been communicated to all organisational levels. Secondly, employees see little or no relationship between the plan and what they do. There is no buy-in.

Vision and mission statements can be powerful tools to focus the organisation onto strategic objectives. However, such statements must be meaningful and capable of translating into key performance metrics and target which can be drilled down to individual accountability.

Core Measures methodology provides a comprehensive, top-down view of performance. This sends a strong focus on vision and strategy.
