According to research, only five percent of employees understands the organizations’ strategy.
So, we must be doing something wrong, right?
I often see a thorough job being done to define new strategies but the mistake many of us make is that these strategies stay within the management. The new strategy and how to achieve it never fully reaches the employees – the group of people that can actually make an impact on a day-to-day-basis.
So, we need to approach our strategies in a different way.
We need to be more agile in our way of working with strategies, look at the time perspectives, touch base on a regular basis and most importantly – implement them throughout the entire organization, on all levels of hierarchy. How about including more people (not just the management team) in the organization, maybe there are more skills out there that is needed to create a great strategy for the future?
It’s not until you do this, that you will notice a difference in how you achieve your strategies.
You need to ask yourself ‘what stands in the way’?
Is it lack of understanding, a matter of time (or lack of) or a structural issue or barrier. Defining this is step 1 and from there you’re on the right path to implement a strategy that will actually be achieved.
