Business Planning
“The practice of shared vision involves the skills of unearthing shared “pictures of the future” that foster genuine commitment and enrollment rather than compliance.”
Key Planning Questions
Vision:
- How do we best serve our clients in the future?
- What are the influencing environmental factors?
Stories:
- What are the stories that tell us what the client is looking for?
- How do the stories come together to move toward the vision?
- What is our high-level roadmap?
People:
- Who are the key players needed to execute on the epics?
- What are their roles, and how can they flex to support the need?
- How do we ensure that they are able to focus on the team's work?
Processes:
- What team practices will be established to help fulfill on the stories?
- What management practices will support the team and ensure organizational alignment?
- What other processes are needed to ensure success?
Relationships:
- How will people work together to optimize delivery?
- How will we ensure transparent communication and alignment?
- How will we treat each other, as team members and leaders?
Once we've answered these questions, we work with our clients to build a plan that's right for them. We can help you define your roadmap, whether it's at the initiative level or for the corporation, to help you achieve your vision.
