LEADING STRATEGIC AND CULTURE CHANGE

By Stephen Haines

THE TOP 12 LEADING STRATEGIC CHANGE MISTAKES BY LARGE ORGANIZATIONS

(75% of All Major Change Fails)

MISTAKE #1: Problem: Lack of Execution and Follow Through

Best Practice: A Monthly Change Leadership Team Meeting

Most organizations need to expand their current monthly financial reviews to add a separate and more rigorous and robust Change Leadership Team (CLT) Meeting, led by the CEO.  In effect the Strategic Planning Team should continue as the CLT to ensure follow through.  After all, they are the ones who built and own the Strategic Plan. 

The CLT should focus each month on the status of:

—  The Key Success Measures/Goals

— The Core Strategies with their three Top Priority Annual Actions for each

—  The Future Environmental Scan to ensure the world is not leaving them behind (recommend this informally each month and formally 2-4 times a year by Environmental Scanning Teams using the SKEPTIC Framework in the State of the Art on Strategic Planning (Part I)

This CLT can add other people to it, but it must be led by the CEO with their senior management team who are the ones with their names on the Top Priority Annual Actions that are reviewed each month.  It must be a separate meeting, each month and planned on the calendar each month for a year in advance.  This enables the executives to schedule the rest of their work and lives around these days and not miss any of them.

The meeting can be 2 hours, a half day or even a full day, depending on the needs of the organization.  Those that make it a half to a full day add in new learning events each month as well as reinforcement for their Vision, Mission, Core Values, and Marketplace Positioning.

People do what you inspect, not what you expect.
