Strategic Alignment
For over ten years we have been helping business reach their goals through a unique, highly-effective process called Initiative Partnering™. IP enables business to reach beyond their current level of thinking, commitment, and action to consistently achieve unexpectedly outstanding results.
Initiative Partnering is applied in areas where current challenges require new levels of organizational creativity and performance. For example:
- Project Management – According to The Standish Group, only 16% of IT projects are completed on time and on budget, while 31% are cancelled before completion. The key reasons are not technical, but revolve around executive support, leadership, communication, and interdepartmental alignment.
- Medical Marketplace Initiatives – Hospitals driving performance improvement depend on commitment and action across a broad, diverse group of stakeholders that cross business boundaries and who often don’t share a common vision: clinical managers, individual physicians, practice groups, and community members.
- Strategic Implementation – Bringing important new strategies to action often requires shifts in culture, increased leadership, as well as new systems and structures.
- Executive and Executive Team Development – The executive team is more often a fractured workgroup, rather than cohesive, high-performing team committed to realizing a business vision.
Businesses often face strategic challenges or opportunities that require dramatic improvements in performance – and that require simultaneous change in leadership, culture, attitudes, systems and behaviors. Groups that have to deliver the solution involve diverse stakeholders with differing views and competing commitments. Current efforts to collaborate may not be optimal, or there may be a history of mistrust or disappointment that limits commitment and creativity. Top-down approaches have produced some success, but leaders with vision see the opportunities the business faces—and that the organization’s current level of functioning may not capable of realizing those opportunities.
