Creating a Culture of Consistent Communication & Delivering Results

Managing your plan means keeping strategy a living, breathing process to ensure goals become reality. A management process fosters clarity in prioritization, coordination, communication, and appreciation for each person’s contribution toward recognizing organizational success. Developing a regular and consistent schedule of reviewing past progress against a plan’s goals, discussing near-term focus and what is needed from one another to stay on-track is critical to successfully achieving an organization’s vision. Creating a plan is hard work, but only half the battle: ensuring implementation is on-track and strategy is regularly discussed (not just at annual planning time) is how good organizations become great.
