How I Guide Planning & Implementation
Before I work with the planning team, I meet with the leader to discuss:
|
- Tailoring the Strategic Planning process to your needs
- What we can use that presently exists
- Who should be involved, the commitment required and their concerns
- The current level of understanding of
Systems Thinking and our Systems Thinking Approach to Strategic Planning
- How we can best work together
|
When facilitating planning sessions:
|
- I keep the discussions moving towards agreed upon outcomes
- I ensure the participation of the entire planning team
- I bring in expertise and ideas from working with other teams, organizations and industries; researching new concepts; and my business, technical and human resources background
- I ask for regular feedback from the leader and planning team
- I use appropriate humor and processes and respect confidential information
|
After the plans are created I could:
- Facilitate regular monitoring & change management sessions and other meetings
- Assist cascading the plans down to other levels in the organization
- Help integrate the plans into processes like performance appraisals, hiring, orientation, 360/upward appraisals, competencies, decision making and meetings
- Assist with understanding and managing change in the organization
- Train and coach to maintain the commitment for implementating the plan
