Strategic plans present the best estimate of what planners, executives, and board members believe will take place within the market environment under the most likely to occur circumstances.

StrategyDriven contributors are pleased to announce the release of our eighth model: Decision Alignment Model.
Credibility of the organization’s mission and values depends largely on management decisions that exemplify them. Maintaining credibility includes strong reinforcement of mission goals and organizational values when decisions are made that affect cost, production, and/or schedule.
Consistency between leadership’s decisions and the organization’s mission and values is vital in light of today’s growing production pressures. Whereas personnel attitudes and actions reflect those of their supervisors, all executives and managers must continuously reinforce their commitment to the organization’s mission and values, particularly through their decisions. It is only when personnel perceive management’s commitment as unwavering that their day-to-day decisions and activities will align with the organization’s overarching objectives.
The StrategyDriven Decision Alignment Model is an easy-to-use tool that helps leaders assess the consistency of their decisions with the organization’s mission including identification of outcome misalignment causes.

“Think of all the times in your life when you learned something, when you discovered something new. When this happened, were you speaking or listening?”

When speaking, you are providing information and when listening, you are receiving information. It may be nothing new, but then again, it may be new, important or even life changing. Take the time to listen and maybe, the next time you really do need to speak, the information you provide will be new to the listener. It may actually be important to them, or even life changing.
