Is the people part clear?
What do we look for in people/personnel?
How do we prepare people from all organisation levels, to interact equally, with unbiased clear deliverables that fulfil business and society needs?
What skills do we equip our people with?
Therefore what all the people need to execute?
Clear Strategy is necessary to create a solid engagement of People in the organization.
Strategy is NOT Intellectualizing nor Philosophizing.
Strategy has to be implemented through a well defined action plan. Having a Strategy without a clear action plan is similar to NOT having Strategy at all. A clear action plan has to be executed at point of impact to the business performance.
Having a Strategy with a monotonous action plan is a risk like doing nothing into opportunity to out perform competitors.
A good Strategic plan (Input from Strategic Apex) shall envision 3-5 years must WIN games with few record breaking results.
It shall connect Priorities to all Business Value drivers such as Safety & Quality, Sustainability, Capital Productivity, Cost efficiency, Growth & Market Share to a initiative that would sustain or improve performance results.
An Operation Plan is blue print or a master plan that shows initiatives with a specific activities or projects to be done at point of impact by work teams with clear goals/targets to be delivered.
It differs from the routines task but a task/activities/projects that will secure a WIN in the game with record breaking results.
The results are the lagging outcome which in common could be manipulated. Indeed the focus on Operation Plan shall be at the leading inputs which seen as the leading activities that will secure the results as per the objectives.
Operation Plans are reviewed in 2 perspectives, namely;
Operation reviews provide data on total performance, and displays gaps in the performance results that eventually could jeopardise our Strategic plan
This is what matters all in the organization.
PERSPECTIVE :
Are we clear with our actions plans for GROWTH, MARKETS, PRODUCTIVITY or QUALITY?
The proportion of Decision Makers to operating core is 10 : 90 or even lower. The key is at the decision makers
So the question to ask the decision makers? What is the common things that both corporate and politics have?
How are you engaging people to the business?
People engage with their heart, taking inspiration from key leaders and decision makers. (the 10 influencing the 90)
If people don’t learn in business means then it’s a failure for people development training and education to win in business.
PERSPECTIVE :
Do you feel sometimes you are trapped in the number game and you need to sacrifice something just for the sake of getting the numbers right ?
Will you be happy to know that all those things that you were doing for the whole year has no visibility on the impact to business?
How do you know that you are performing well throughout the year? Are you clear with the goals and deliverables?
Were you given the fair chance guidance to perform according to business needs?
Execution includes the Tactics that need to be developed according to the Strategy that is cascaded from the Top Down = People with Competence.
Technique/Methods to perform the Task/Job + Management of Machine & Information + Right Behaviours, Attitudes & Mindset.
Leaders cannot simply delegate what needs to be done to his/her subordinate. Leaders must ensure that members (people) are Performing the Business Activities in Plants, Factories, Market Place, using the right Technique/Methods with full Engagement.
Companies need to Master Performance Skills, to instill Competitive Advantages. It’s a discipline by its own. It will help leaders to choose more Robust Strategies with the right Resources and People.
But execution is not Tactics!
Therefore, the core must be clearly defined, otherwise the execution is worthless.
Tactics cannot remain constant as we progress, to be competitive in business.
We shape up the execution to be worthwhile strategies.
Tactics need to cultivate an interest in soccer.
Tactics are required for a soccer team to improve performances.
Tactics need to be refined to play soccer at local, regional, and international level.
People and Business need Engagement!
Without Engagement, it is just a development of a mis guided mental system that has learned to be unequal between people and systems. This usually is biased.
Question : Do people control systems or systems control people ?
This function has tools and methods that are *Unique, which consists of elements relating to People, Strategy, and Operational Plans. It is an internalized function through learning and improving. Knowing tools and systems that are widespread is not sufficient, similar to a picture of a potato that is useless for the cooking activity in a kitchen.
You need leaders to Manage Organisations towards Business Performance to WIN. The person to lead the Function must have an overall view of the Organisations Strategy!
It is like a manager of a soccer team managing talented and skilful players at different positions to WIN a major tournament.
