Implementing a strategic overhaul focused on transforming our client from a domestic to a global organization. In addition, the client needed to significantly accelerate the process of readying leadership.
This challenge required:
- Inspiring leadership to embrace large scale strategic overhaul
- Readying leaders to rally their teams behind the new strategy
- Ensuring leaders are armed with an understanding of how to enable the strategy
- Designing and facilitating a multi-phased, intensive two-day workshop (Design Session) for 100 members of their top leadership teams. The workshop was designed to:
- Build enthusiasm and understanding around the future vision
- Strategize about enabling capabilities
- Develop and rehearse a communication plan
- Planning a successful workshop including:
- Partnering with top-level representatives from across the organization to identify workshop goals
- Conducting focus groups to surface questions and concerns among senior leaders exposed to the new strategy
- Teaming with business leads to identify the right information to have on hand during the workshop, and packaging it into highly synthesized and engaging visual content
After this two-day workshop the organization was able to:
- Quickly and consistently socialize and cascade key messaging on the strategy
- Leverage cross-functional teams to do real work on enabling capabilities
- Make measurable progress in each of their five strategic platforms
