Focus and alignment are the biggest constraints any transformation faces.

You will learn how to define your Aspiration (True North), where to focus breakthrough work, how to deploy breakthrough work so as to involve all levels.
Strategy Deployment matches available resources with key activities so only activities that are desirable, important, and achievable are authorized. Strategy Deployment aligns functions and activities with critical strategic goals by developing — usually through an annual planning process — clear and aligned actions, timelines, measures, and responsibilities. It provides the support structure for the weekly, annual, and long-term cycles of the PDCA method.

The success of your transformation hinges on the company’s answers. Strategy Deployment unleashes the organization’s latent energy and talent by deploying the scientific method to all levels.
