Description
Successful organisations are led by smart creative people who can listen, evaluate, imagineer and lead. The details are left to managers who translate the ask into a go-do - right? When the go-do fits within controllable domains, we can expect results. But when our transformational change goes cross business, value stream development and delivery involves several areas, and our business as usual is focused on bonus laden area targets - how to we integrate, performance manage and make objective priority calls? Do we have the objectivity of assurance, the support of governance professionals and the reliable information sources we need for agile decision making? We should have - line of business systems, integration capability, data platforms and information management capability has matured. We know what innovation and agility look like and with the release of ISO 37000 and the Business Integrated Governance Framework - the know how is public. David can speak about known pains around strategy delivery, outline modern technology capability, introduce public domain thinking - and explain how to get improvement initiatives off grounds that until now - may have seemed too stony to set a solid foundation...
How does this session align with the conference theme "Strategy in a 'Right Now' World" and topic areas
Our businesses face constantly changing opportunities threats, imperatives and goals. We pay for great staff to generate ideas of what we can do with greater value, and how we can do it better. There are so many influences and so many options. We understand the need for agility and innovation. But the twisting and turning we see in jet fighters at those summer air shows - yes there is the power of the engine, the sleekness of the airframe and the brain of the pilot - but maybe we can't see the staggering number of sensors, information processing and presentation, nor can we see the fly by wire controls that adjust and finesse the control surfaces to get precise movement. Our organisations are not quite so sharp and precise as an aircraft control systems - but how can we expect effective strategy to delivery and back again if we don't have the appropriate ecosystem to make it happen? At a recent conference, it was agreed that too often we sprinkle governance and assurance on the top of strategy like chocolate chips on a cake. We think it is time to start baking them into the structure to get a better result...
