Strategic Mobilization
When to call for Strategic Mobilization:
A critical milestone was just missed, and worse, no one saw the breakdown coming.
Suddenly a powerful, smart and previously supportive senior colleague has started
resisting an important initiative.
An important initiative is moving along, but every step is heavy slogging. It's like pushing
stones up hill, and the team is likely to burn out before the objective is achieved.
The wrong people are heading the effort, despite good intentions.
Cross-functional team members are retreating into their silos.
What we do
Mobilization is the discipline of turning strategy into reality. Commitment of the key players at every level makes the difference between success and failure. Project plans without commitment are carts without horses. We secure the commitment to the initiative, and then make sure the plans and practices are in place to enable success.
Building commitment requires key players taking on new roles or reinvigorating their old roles. We help them see and shape strategic mobilizations to fit with their professional desire for growth and achievement and for the growth and achievement of colleagues.
We engage with your executive team to develop the initiatives and programs that will
make your strategy succeed. And then we work to implement these programs throughout
the company.
We define the communication and coordination practices necessary to manage the plans.
We introduce new standards for clarifying and committing to action.
We work with the influence leaders, key project teams, and task forces—wherever
attention is needed to produce the desired results.
