This model illustrates the many interrelations between the strategic business planning and tactical business execution processes. Additionally, the model provides a framework against which to association the many best practices posted on the StrategyDriven website.
As a way of saying thank you to our registered members, StrategyDriven contributors are launching a series of new member’s only categories covering practices that permeate the strategic planning and tactical business execution processes. Our initial category, Decision-Making, will examine the four categories of decision-making (emergency, day-to-day, intermediate-term, and strategic), underlying concepts, and performance best practices and warning flags.
While access to Decision-Making will be limited to registered members, all other categories will remain open to all visitors. StrategyDriven contributors remain committed to updating the open access categories with the high-quality, weekly content on strategic planning and tactical business execution as we have done in the past.
Registration is FREE and registered members gain access to StrategyDriven whitepapers, models, and the Decision-Making category. If you have not already done so, we hope you’ll register today and join our conversation.
Organizational silos act as barriers; hindering the performance of business units, work groups, and individuals as they strive to achieve the organization’s shared goals. Nowhere in the organization are silos more destructive than if they exist within the executive team. Here, silos prevent the free flow of information and resources needed to successfully execute cross-functional initiatives with the barriers to collaboration cascading downward though the entire organization. To help prevent these silos from forming, all strategic plan goals must be shared equally by all executives.
