How clear is your strategy, not to you, but to your people?
If strategy is really about how you win as a team and organization, there are some long-range fixed elements, as well as some more flexible strategic priorities that must be adjusted regularly.
5 C’s that will help you evaluate how you can get to stunning strategic clarity:
Catapult: Are your most important strategic initiatives at the forefront? Catapult these things to the front and stay focused there.
Combine: Where do you have diffused efforts that can be combined together? Sometimes you’ll find opportunities to bring groups together for greater impact.
Cascade: There are some strategic offerings that are not catapulted to the front. They belong more behind the scenes and only get brought out at the right time.
Cut: For some of you to get to strategic clarity, you simply need to stop doing some things. Enough said. Cut it out! You are causing strategy ADD and it’s time to do the hard thing.
Create: Perhaps you have had clarity and success for a long enough season that it is time to start something new.
