Overview
Planning is a core leadership responsibility
Leaders plan at different levels, from the whole of organisation to individual business units. (Individual performance planning is covered in the Leading Performance Boost Program.) This requires the capability to think comprehensively about the different dimensions required for a balanced, relevant and focussed plan.
Can a complex a business be simplified?
It can’t but the way we think about it can. Applying an interrelated functions framework over the business enables people to see how it all fits together. People can deal more easily with the complex details of any particular part of the business without losing sight of how it fits together. This makes it possible for a balanced and coordinated approach to business, even in times of major change.
The Performance Panel
The interrelated functions framework that this program uses is the Performance Panel and its subordinate frameworks. These frameworks help participants explore how they can lead and plan for key business functions and responsibilities.
Integrated Program Elements
The program combines layers to integrate the different avenues of
learning available in organisations.
Seminars - per group
Coaching - per person/small group
Progress measures - per round
On-line resources - The Learning Centre access is complimentary with the above
“You have a budget, but do you have the action plan the budget should represent? We see countless cases where the numbers are assembled painstakingly and presented expertly but have little to do with the reality of running the business. A one-year operating plan sets forth a template for achievement. It synchronises all of the organisation’s parts and links them with the strategy and people processes.”
Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan
