BUILD THE CASE TO ACT
We can help you build a broad and deep consensus on the need to act.
Choose the Option to Build Alignment That Works Best for Where You Are Today
Do you still need to build consensus on the need to act?
► Does the leadership team already collectively believe you need a step-change in how effective you are in translating strategy into results/the need to significantly improve the competitiveness of your existing operations, or do you still need to build alignment that this is a priority?
►Are you already convinced of the need to act but need to align on the best path forward ie. which of the many different approaches you could take to improving outcomes makes the best sense for our organisation?
►Or are you clear on the need, and your approach, but need help to translate it into a concrete plan and understand exactly, based on learning gained from actually doing it, what is needed to make it happen?
Build Consensus on the Need to Act with a Probability of Successful Execution (PSE) Assessment
If you want to build consensus on the need to act, we recommend you start by building a shared understanding of what we call the execution gap. This is the difference between the certainty you would like in terms of realising your strategic ambitions and what, in reality, based on an objective appraisal of your starting position, will be the likely outcome if you follow the path you are already on.
Our Probability of Successful Execution (PSE) Assessment does exactly what it says on the tin – it calibrates the execution gap in concrete terms, identifies the weaknesses in your current approach and recommends the best way to address those weaknesses based on insights gained from benchmarking with some of the best performing organisations in the world. Another significant benefit of the PSE assessment is that it can help quickly, and effectively, baseline your current capability and objectively demonstrate the improvement you have made to your organisation’s ability to implement strategy and improve operations.
❝Breakthrough Partners Probability of Successful Execution assessment helped us not just build consensus on the need to improve our “strategy execution” system, but critically also revealed what was needed to improve the system. Amazing value for the small amount of time invested.❞
— Jason Andrews, Operational Excellence Leader, Orsted
If you feel you already have consensus on the need to act and now want to build alignment around the best approach to take to see a real step-change in operational performance and/or effectiveness of your strategy implementation process, we recommend you leverage our tailored executive briefing process.
In this process we help you, and your colleagues, navigate the complex alphabet soup of different strategy implementation and operational excellence methodologies (Hoshin, OKRs, OGSM, 4DX. Lean, Six Sigma, Agile…) to understand what elements of these methodologies really matter and why. Our goal in the tailored executive briefing is to provide you and your colleagues with an objective “outside-in” view of what works and what good looks like, whilst linking it pragmatically to your current starting point.
Our process starts with a deep dive into your context, and more specifically, into your current approach to strategy implementation/improving operational performance. Based on this deep dive, we then prepare a briefing on the options you have to move forward, and an objective assessment of the pros and cons of those options based on learning gained from helping more than 40 Global 5000 companies transform how they define and implement strategy and drive improved operational performance.
❝Getting Breakthrough Partners in to help our colleagues better understand the way the best organisations leverage Hoshin Kanri to improve strategy execution was a good decision. Many clear and actionable insights.❞
