Initiatives

It takes a lot of effort and resources to make change happen. Business exploration is all about planning, investing, designing, developing, operating, consolidating, integrating, optimizing.

In face of rapid change, fierce competitions, frequent disruptions, organizations need to start thinking about ways to bring high performance outcomes. Forward-thinking companies need to keep planning and improving, the responsibility of the management is to make a seamless alignment of planning and implementation. 

That means the management needs to be vulnerable to hearing the ideas challenged from a viewpoint different from your own, improve cross- functional communications, and identify opportunities for growth and innovation. The real challenge is to understand the priorities of your company, and know where and how you can and should improve to amplify the change effect.

Good assumptions should be thought of as qualified knowledge-based projections: Incorrect assumption is perhaps based on unconscious bias, disqualified information, ineffective analysis. Good assumptions based on objective perception and advanced analysis to forecast. In order to make better assumptions, look at the issues you need to handle from an integral perspective rather than attempting to understand it from a sum of the parts. The wrong assumptions should be corrected along the road of implementation with data analytical modern tools.

Uncertainty/Risk is inherent in every venture, the marketplace. As far as assumptions, sometimes it’s inevitable that you have to make them. But If you don't continue to assess, especially those planning assumptions to verify fact from false, then it’s no surprise that your strategy has some defects and causes business distraction or stagnation. Because you will never have complete information, and if you try to only act on what you know by fact, you are more likely to go wrong. The impact of uncertainty can be, at least in part, addressed by research and knowledge. So having the right talent to do deep analysis enables business management to verify assumptions, understand cause-effect, make adjustments and improve implantation success rate.

After setting strategic goals; next step is defining intermediate goals that work towards achieving those objectives: Strategic plans are living documents that require ongoing monitoring and adjustments when needed to address unforeseen changes in the marketplace. Charting a course to how you achieve the strategic goals with intermediate objectives over time is pivotal to success. The key is establishing intermediate goals or objectives for the team to work towards and having key indicators of success to assess along the way.

The most important thing to business management is that you can create a strategic plan of action that will be the foundation for growth and success. Start by identifying your goals in the organization, especially those affected by trends. Take each strategic goal and break it down into incremental and achievable short, mid, and long-term goals or objectives, align functional goals with the strategic goals of the entire company and from there determine the individual unit goals to meet the strategic goals of your division. Strategic planning-implementing is dynamic, requiring ongoing monitoring and adjustments when needed to address unforeseen changes in the marketplace.

Integrate people, process, technology into core competency; to ensure the business as a whole is superior to the sum of pieces
: The responsibility of the management is to enable desirable emergent property, clarify the logic to strengthen the weakest links and make a seamless alignment of planning and implementation. The most effective and efficient way to make sure both strategic planning and implementation stay aligned is to integrate the expectations of critical internal stakeholders into business management. When teams are cultured to focus on the shared goals of the organization, they compete professionally and complement towards the attainment of the shared goals.

You adopt a strategy to achieve the business outcome, and you define key performance indicators to monitor performance progress, especially at the strategic level. Selecting the right set of key performance indicators is a crucial step in managing implementation in a measurable way. To keep the teams and employees focused on the most important things, handle sequence & consequence of business initiatives, enforce nonlinear logic, and produce business results in a consistent way. and that creates a conducive environment for mutual trust to flourish.

The strategy management process is a continuous cycle; that's part of the management process itself. It takes a lot of effort and resources to make change happen. Business exploration is all about planning, investing, designing, developing, operating, consolidating, integrating, optimizing. Business management becomes more effective by monitoring the overall health of the systems and enforcing the cross-functional relationship and collaboration.
