Setting and Achieving Strategy

PDF Print E-mail
In 1989, Hiparcos, a European star-mapping stellite, failed to enter its correct orbit when a rocket motor failed to ignite.

Enquiries revealed that the detonator used to fire the motor had not been modified to work in a vacuum.

The manufacturer had not been told what the detonator was going to be used for.

This example illustrates the importance of having a clear strategy and communicating it to all concerned. At McCourts, we can help you integrate the setting of strategy with its communication and delivery. We help our clients use a common language so that everybody in the organisation understands what is required and why, and how each will contribute to achieving the desired results.

Being really clear about aims has three major benefits:

- It avoids unnecessary work being done;

- It focusses the whole organisation and avoids confusion;

- It increases the motivation and commitment of employees.

At McCourts, we know how establish clear aims within an organisation. In particular, we can help you to:

- Clarify and establish strategic direction and the broader purposes the strategy is to serve.

- Develop a range of ways in which the strategy can be pursued, including options, and the logical steps required to achieve them.

- Focus and single out the most appropriate option(s) and specify the desired outcomes and criteria by which successful achievement will be measured.

- Gain ownership and commitment to the selected options and associated outcomes throughout the organisation.
