Plotting your course and keeping on track
Any journey requires clarity on where you are trying to get to.
You need to define that destination in terms that can be understood by everyone in your organisation.
And hold people accountable to deliver.
Protean are expert at helping leadership teams to define their purpose, ambition and critical success factors. We then help to define the metrics that will demonstrate progress, and prioritise the initiatives which will deliver the vision.
But just as importantly, we embed the management behaviours, processes and systems to ensure that the business performs – every day, week and year.
When to consider improving your strategy deployment…
New Leadership
A change at the helm is often a trigger to put the business back on an even keel, focusing on growth and excellence. New CEOs need to build a shared vision and get everyone working in the same direction.
Moving to scale
As businesses scale, initiatives get out of control and leaders lose sight of the goal. It’s a critical time to sharpen up both your strategic planning and day-to-day management controls.
Post Acquisition Integration
Aligning your approach to driving performance and delivering change is essential as you bring together different management cultures.
When change doesn't happen!
Everyone is busy, promises are made, but things never seem to change? This is a common symptom of weak prioritisation and performance management.
