Identify – Select – Align – Execute. The line between success and failure is a thin one. Aligned, you and your team will learn to focus on the right strategic priorities and drive success as one. This is where we help.

Having gone through Winning Your Decisive Battles program as a management team, you will have:

• Gained clarity and shared understanding on your strategic challenge over the next 5-10 years.
• Set a new way of working together as a team with truly shared goals, and shared accountability for results.
• Identified a handful of « Must-Wins » to translate the mid-term strategy into organizational reality.
• Pointed to hidden barriers to organizational buy-in and decided how to overcome them.
• Built an actionable plan of execution under each of the « Must-Wins » to get results from strategic initiatives.
• Agreed resources and secured company’s top talent to make it happen.
• Defined tracking tools to keep success on track.
• Defined communication plan to ensure the commitment to one agenda throughout the company.

This is just the beginning of the journey. You will need to ensure that once back in the office the excitement of the shared agenda continues, that this excitement leads to an overall organizational commitment, and that the commitment leads to success. We will provide you with tools but the determination of your leadership team will make the rest. Remember: align and execute are won on a long run.

This Executive Program is conceived as a company program, usually taking place off-site, with you and your direct reports. It is designed to facilitate the identification of the key strategic priorities as well as alignment of the leadership team behind them for seamless execution.

Often times the journey starts well before your off-site with an analysis of the impact the fast-changing business environment has on the direction the company needs to take.

Once into the three-day off-site, you and your leadership team will focus on both your own team dynamics and on what would it take for the organization to keep winning over the next 3-5 years.

Depending on the make-up of the team and the way your decisions are usually made, you may need to spend more time on forging a commitment to one and unique shared agenda within the leadership team. Individual contribution and support to the agreed-upon « Must Wins » will be crucial to translating your decisions into reality when back in the office.

At the end of executive program, the team is leaving with an agreed-upon strategic road map, key responsibilities, and top talent appointees to lead the execution. And above all, a shared accountability for making it happen.

This Executive Program is highly interactive and participant-driven. Dealing with the essential pillars of the strategy and people development, the program uses both the company-generated material and exercises, role plays, story-telling and group discussions for an effective situation assessment, strategic priorities identification and management team alignment.

Over the three days, your management team will be assisted by our seasoned group facilitators who themselves have been leaders and change agents of their organizations. They have both facilitated strategic plans and executed them with success.

The approach encourages leadership teams to embrace a new group dynamic thus helping individual and team discovery and aligned decision making.

The program is designed for senior executives, members or the top management teams in both large and small companies who are responsible for or significantly influence the firm’s strategic direction and its human capital development.

As the outcomes are team and organization related, the whole management team attendance is essential for the success of the program.

All teams leave this program with specific tools and frameworks that they immediately apply as well as agreed-upon set of strategic priorities to make a significant impact within their organizations.
