Lean Strategy Deployment
We know from decades of experience that continuous improvement of “end-to-end” processes is the one true way to optimize performance. Strategy deployment allows us to view the operating model as a cross-functional matrix. This helps organizations acquire a structured approach for attaching initiatives to the overall business plan and implement process improvements throughout a value stream. With measurable performance metrics in place, you organization is able to self-manage its Lean journey and see, often for the first time, the read-through of results.
What is Strategy Deployment?
- A platform that communicates and integrates strategy across functions
- Generates breakthrough objectives (BTO’s) to drive significant growth and profitability
- Converts BTO’s into a limited number of annual improvement priorities
- Filters all projects and resources to generate a single action plan
- Disciplined monthly review and critique of progress against action plans
- Mandates cross-functional teaming to drive an atmosphere of learning
The strategy deployment process is not a one time, or even an annual exercise. It is a process that enables continuous improvement throughout the organization, and involves everyone from senior executives, to middle management, and production level staff.
