Lee discusses the challenge that many organisations face when it comes to deploying their strategies effectively. He emphasises the importance of engaging employees and creating a more meaningful and collaborative approach to strategy deployment. Lee introduces a framework of three key questions: Why are we doing this, what do our people need to be, and what elements do we need in place to achieve our goals? By answering these questions and involving the team in the process, leaders can create a clear direction, define desired behaviours, and establish the necessary systems to successfully implement their strategies. Lee concludes by offering a downloadable guide to help listeners navigate this framework and align their departments or functions towards their desired outcomes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Deploying a strategy within an organisation is full of challenges, it's essential we engage people in the process.


Using a question framework to guide the deployment of a strategy, focusing on purpose, people, and process can help in helping things go smoothly.


The purpose questions involve defining why the organisation is pursuing a particular strategy and what goals or metrics they aim to achieve.


The people questions focus on identifying the desired habits and behaviours of employees that will contribute to the success of the strategy.


The process questions involve determining the tangible elements and actions needed to support the desired behaviours and achieve the defined goals.

BEST MOMENTS


"People don't fear change, they fear being changed."


"There is a better way than a lot of organisations adopt that can create a more engaging way to deliver the deployment of a strategy, of a direction, of a vision."


"To achieve this, our people need to be role models, coaches, positive, respectful, and engaged."


"This means we need to have the following things in place: communication system, certain meetings, certain governance, certain roles and responsibilities."


"To make this a reality, these actions are required to be delivered. Who's going to do those actions? By when?"
