(click to view)
hello: my name is lm foong,
i am a consultant and facilitator in the area of tqm implementation using business model such as baldrige criteria. today, i am going to share with you actual workshop material i used for strategic planning, titled:
7-steps to effective strategic planning"
if you are not in a hurry, i like to share that knowledge with you.
by no means is the best but it was designed in accordance to the baldrige criteria requirements. it is by far one of the most holistic approach to strategic planning because it has considered various inputs from stakeholders include shareholders, customers and employees before strategies are developed. it is systematic, fact based with analysis of data and involvement of lower level of employee who are normally the implementor.
you can preview
7-steps to effective strategic planning"
in presentation slides on-line.
the key benefits you can get from this presentation slides which are categorized as chapters are follows:-
step 1 - review or develop vision & mission
-
able to obtain first hand information from various stakeholders (shareholders, customers, employee, suppliers communities etc).
-
you will be able to use the templates to evaluate how the stakeholders think about your organization. to find out whether their action are aligned with the organization's objectives.
-
to review or develop company's vision and mission with the involvement of other stakeholders to ensure it is still current with the business changes and new challenges. also use this session as a mean for communication.
step 2 - business and operation analysis (swot analysis etc)
-
one of the key consideration of strategic planning is to understand internal (own organization) strengths and weaknesses as well as external threats and opportunities. these are commonly known as the four factors of a s.w.o.t. analysis. in this ebook, they are used extensively to evaluate the company's health and wealth and generate ideas for strategies.
-
get involvement from various stakeholders to provide their points of view about your organization. in the process, you will gain better buy-in from these implementator of strategies and policies.
step 3 - develop and select strategic options
-
you will be able to use the templates provided to develop several key possible strategies to address the organization's objectives. more important, these possible strategies are develop based on the inputs from stakeholders (step 1) and business and operation analysis (step 2).
-
it is often several possible strategies are developed and everyone of them seems important. since it is quite normal that an organization would have several key issues to tackle, you will be able to use a proper tools to select a few from the possible strategies. you will b e able to apply several prioritizing tools as introduced in this step.
step 4 - establish strategic objectives
-
during this step, you will be able to view the overall picture about the organization and able to select a few strategic options objectively. template is provided for you to understand various strategic options, set key measures and broad time line to ensure the selected strategic options are achieved.
-
while it is quite common that measures and timelines are given by top management, it is the intention of this step 4 that these measures and timelines are smart . what it meant was specific (s), measurable (m), achievable (a), realistic (r) and time-bound (t). when the strategic options are smart, it will help to ease the communication toward the lower level of the organizational hierarchy for implementation.
step 5 - development strategic deployment plan
-
many organization failed to realize its full potential of its strategies are due to weak implementation. in this step 5, a proper deployment plan is developed to implement these strategies.
-
key concepts of communication and getting buy-in for implementation of strategies are included in this ebook include alignment and setting key activities, targets and timeline.
step 6 - establish resource allocation
-
very often, management team assigned selected strategies to key personnel and left it to the individual to carry out the task. while most organizations operate with minimum resources, it often ends up work overloaded by individual.
-
step 6 deals with proper allocation of resources based on company's strategic priorities. in certain aspect, it deals with cross functional team to take on the task of each selected strategic objective. it is the management team decision to allocation resources based on these needs.
step 7 - review
-
one of the key success factors for an effective strategy deployment is constant review of its progress and make decision for any deviations to plan. it is vital to decide what to review and with who the review is done.
-
new decision may be required as the status of the strategies progressed.

free bonus # 2: baldrige winner case study - boeing airlift and tanker programs (1998 winner)
the boeing company airlift and tanker program (a&tp) designs, manufactures, and supports the c-17 globemaster iii, a usaf aircraft that transports people and oversized cargo throughout the world.
the c-17 development program began in 1982. on the leading edge of technology, the program experienced significant technical problems, along with late deliveries and cost overruns. in the early 1990s the department of defence threatened to cancel the program unless immediate improvements were made.
the program was turned around by investing in people, by being process-focused and customer-driven, and by partnering with customers, unions, and suppliers.

free bonus # 4: baldrige winner case study - ibm rochester
ibm rochester won its baldrige award in 1990, at a time when the parent corporation was in some trouble.
early critics of the baldrige award frequently (and of course, prematurely) cited this apparently bizarre outcome as yet another nail in the award's coffin. ibm today is not the organisation that it was in the late 80s. but in many important respects, ibm rochester still is.
ibm rochester's story is interesting in the context of the baldrigeplus case study collection because of the eight, it represents one of the oldest awards, and ten years have passed since a 17-person ibm team put together the 1990 winning application.

free bonus # 5: baldrige winner case study - raytheon
strictly speaking, raytheon is not a baldrige winner. it was texas instruments' (ti) defence business which won a baldrige award in 1992, the first defence contractor to do so.
raytheon systems company is an amalgam of raytheon electronic systems, raytheon e-systems, and hughes and texas instruments' defence operations (taking the company from 'a second-tier $12b firm to a top-tier contractor on the scale of lockheed martin and boeing').
it's the ti 'legacy' company (now more or less the sensors and electronic systems operation) that's the 'baldrige' champion within rsc.
ti's post-baldrige approach to performance excellence, variously packaged and labelled (ti-best, aclas, six sigma), maps closely to the baldrige system.
