Back ground What makes ITCORP’s approach to strategic and
business planning different to the normal planning sessions? |
Risk Paradigm and
Future State Thinking Our
approach to strategic and business planning is through a risk paradigm with
future state thinking! A Risk
Paradigm is to anticipate the hazards and constraints that will stop you from
achieving your future state. Future
State Thinking enables stakeholders to approach planning sessions with a
mindset of output based, rather than from aligning the Current State [Input
based]. For a
comprehensive explanation of a risk paradigm refer to ITCORP Newsletters. To
enable clients to move into and stay in this mindset, ITCORP use a set of
unique approaches and experiential learning techniques to trigger, lock-on and
sustain this approach during and beyond strategic and business planning
sessions. ITCORP Models and
Frameworks ITCORP
have sets of models and frameworks that are used as templates to populate the
information gathered in a planning session. These models and frameworks help
to structure sessions in delivering defined outcomes and identified projects
for more effective and efficient execution.
This will ensure the attainment of enterprise goals and targets. These
models and frameworks include: ·
Financial Feasibility
models ·
Merger &
Acquisition models ·
Business Case
models ·
Business
Scenario planning models Performance Management Setting
up a control cockpit with Key Performance Areas, Indicators and Metrics at
the time of initial and strategic planning ensures clarity of business
destinations, role clarity, project and action plan success criteria. This
cockpit is contained in the Business Balanced Scorecard and linked through to
Tactical and Operational performance contracts [compacts], performance
criteria, evaluation and measurement. Effective Facilitation Years of
practice, effective frameworks, approaches and methods, supported by a wide
diversity of business competence, ensures optimised participation and
results. [Output-Based] |

Background Linked to Strategic and Business Planning the effective
establishment of performance contracts, with measurable and
balanced scorecard linked criteria and metrics are paramount
for optimum business management. Often this important part is done in
isolation or in exclusion of the strategic planning
process. This results in disintegrated
and often counter-productive efforts and energies spent in
organisations |
Link to Strategic
process and Balanced Scorecard In order
to ensure flawless execution of your mission and business objectives set in
strategic planning, each effort and energy of the resources applied in the
organisation should be directed and linked to driving the results of the
Business Balance Scorecard. This is
only achieved by taking a two-pronged approach: Firstly, establishing metrics to measure performance ensuring
business results; and Secondly linking each output and effort to a set of
criteria and metrics that will measure results in accordance with strategic
goals. Services, frameworks
and tools to support performance management ITCORP
have available a support infrastructure to assist, in each of the areas of
Strategic, Tactical and Operational management, with the following: ·
Project
Support Offices [On & Off site] ·
Development of
a Balance Scorecard cockpit & dashboards to measure performance ·
Facilitation
in the definition & development of output indicators and measurement
metrics ·
Self assessment: o
Developing
ability to assess o
Tools for
assessment [developed models] ·
Capacity
building workshops for managers and employees in applying the principles,
models and tools |

|
Background Our experience has
identified the need for integrating the learning and application
as well as frameworks and tools into current business
systems. This is the formalisation of
and inclusion into policies, procedures and business application
systems, for continuity and measurement. |
Integration into
Business Systems As
mentioned in the background it is essential that all new, changed, enhanced and/or
discontinued processes, learning, application, methods, frameworks and tools
are integrated into the way the business is operated. Failing, leads to a number of symptoms
that cause frustration, time and money wastage: ·
Loss of effect
after short period of time ·
Resorting to
previous paradigms and ineffective approaches and methods ·
Inability to
sustain high outputs, focus and motivation ·
Inability to
transfer to new incumbents into organisation ·
Erratic and
pitchy performance results [High initial with fast tapering off] ·
Attitude of
“it was a nice breakaway, now let’s get back to normal” ·
No reference
to what caused the successes, when further redeployment is needed ITCORP
and its business associates have, or can assist with the integration
requirements into your current business systems. You are only a click away from an integrated solution. Click
