Lean Horizons logotype

strategic deployment

In business, success derives largely from a robust planning and execution system, one that is focused by a vision and responsive to a market. To enact rapid continuous improvement and stay competitive, you need to be able to separate the important from the trivial, as it relates to your business. Strategic Deployment enables your company to clearly define corporate objectives and goals, disseminate and align these objectives throughout all levels of the organization and create plans of action for achieving the objectives. Stated another way, Strategic Deployment drives your business forward based on your company’s vision, not a temporary problem, and engages your people enterprise-wide.

Strategic Deployment helps your company to:
• cement your vision and define critical objectives
• maintain an unwavering focus on what matters
• engage people throughout the organization in the planning and execution of your strategy
• allocate resources based on factual, measurable objectives and outcomes
• communicate in a manner that aligns all levels of the organization

The driving force

The Lean Horizons Strategic Deployment package targets the senior management team responsible for initially creating the vision as well as defining the critical few breakthrough objectives. As the deployment objectives cascade to the point of impact within the organization, management teams from various levels and functions within the company are engaged for the creation and execution of the plan.

The benefits

Our Strategic Deployment program relies on a highly disciplined yet flexible platform that provides the structure required for success and the flexibility to adapt to a wide variety of businesses and industries.

During this program you will learn how to:
• manage your organization’s focus
• align your organization around critical business imperatives
• tie Lean efforts to strategy and impact bottom line results
• create a culture of ownership and accountability for problem-solving down to root-cause confirmation

A company’s strategic deployment plan is as unique as a fingerprint; there is no off-the-shelf, one-size-fits all solution. Moreover, the plan must be developed and deployed by internal leadership. Lean Horizons specializes in the core competencies of Lean, corporate strategic deployment, and instructional design. This fusion of expertise results in an unparalleled Strategic Deployment program that is specifically tailored to each learning audience. Immediately, you will notice the superior quality of the Lean Horizons Strategic Deployment program. With workshop deliverables and prerequisites clearly outlined, your team experiences a focused, forward momentum that enables them to accomplish the task at hand and lay the foundation for growth and success.

The Lean Horizons approach

Lean Horizons' comprehensive Strategic Deployment program employs a flexible, four-stage process designed to teach Strategic Deployment methods and demonstrate how to operationalize Strategic Deployment for consistent application and sustainable results throughout the enterprise.

Client Leader Workshop: Lean Horizons will impart the enterprise-requirements of Strategic Deployment and then evaluate the existing business strategy along with marketplace performance and customer expectations. During this session, the overall architecture for your business’ strategic deployment is created.

Top-Level Matrix Workshop: During this workshop, members of the executive team, now armed with the tools and concepts of Strategic Deployment, develop three or four critical breakthrough objectives for the business as well as the Annual Improvement Priorities that will be targeted to accomplish each breakthrough objective in the first year of the Strategic Deployment plan.

Second Level Matrix Workshop: During the next workshop, Annual Improvement Priorities are cascaded to point-of-impact (the specific processes that will be altered, modified or replaced in order to support and sustain breakthrough objectives) and detailed action plans are developed.

Process Management Workshop: This workshop discusses the management structure needed to facilitate the Strategic Deployment process in your organization including how to utilize and manage core Strategic Deployment tools such as progress tracking methods, root cause analysis and problem solving tools, countermeasure development, and executive progress review methodologies.
