THE JOINED-UP STRATEGY

Most organisations get caught up in the complexity of strategy. The influencers on my thinking on strategy have all come from the “Keep it Simple” stable. In a world that is going faster and faster a complex strategic plan will inevitably fail in some areas.

A joined-up strategy recognises there are different steps between the long term vision and the minute by minute decisions that define the organisation. For many organisations these steps are assumed and have not been explicitly stated or aired for ongoing relevance.

What got you to one level will not necessarily get you to the next. The world keeps changing, what most organisations do not do well is to ensure consistency between the various steps. The joined-up approach is visual, is iterative and stops the team getting stuck at one stage.
