Strategy Execution Planning and Facilitation

Strategy Implementation Consulting

S2R is able to help senior managers and executives plan the strategy implementation process for any major initiative, program or strategic plan using advanced facilitation and planning skills based on visual-displayed systems thinking.  We use an innovative Strategy Map process adapted from Dr. Sayan Chatterjee and his book FailSafe Strategies, as well as a modified Balanced Scorecard approach to define strategic metrics.  This approach to strategy development assures a higher probability of executing the plan because it incorporates a clear understanding of the organization's fundamental capability constraints that need to be resolved in order to achieve the desired business objectives.  Strategy planning, as a profession, must adopt an integrated systems planning perspective based on the executability of those plans if it is ever to gain credibility with those managers and employees who must implement the organizational strategy. 

Our strategic planning discovery process also helps businesses and organizations identify potential projects, introduce new practices, plan strategies for resource allocation, define and recommend decision governance, design enterprise-wide, matrix-management-based operations, and facilitate collaborative management team development. 

Leading a Positive Organization

S2R incorporates the leading-edge research and approaches of Positive Organizational Scholarship and Appreciative Inquiry to create breakthroughs and turnarounds. Positive Organizational Scholarship, a major research focus at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, is an affirmative approach that focuses on what creates excellence and vitality in an organization, highlighting appreciation, collaboration and fulfillment. Similarly, Appreciative Inquiry is based on the idea that transformation and growth come from inquiry and dialogue centered on what works and what gives health and energy to an organization as opposed to what is broken. Appreciative Inquiry emphasizes appreciation and the affirmation of strengths, successes and dreams. It recognizes that individuals, groups, organizations and communities will grow in positive ways when they focus on what is best about them.
