“Strategy is easy. Pick a general direction and implement like crazy” Jack Welch
“A poor plan brilliantly executed will always outperform a brilliant plan poorly executed” Sun Tzu
The One Discipline is a management methodology with supporting tools that is designed to ensure that strategies and plans are executed brilliantly. It is a simple iterative process that can be run through an organisation at great speed. With this approach it is possible to:
- Ensure everyone fully understands the strategy and plans and the roles they will play in the delivery
- Make everyone in the organisation an agent of change, rather than a victim of it
- Create undreamt levels of alignment, co-operation and collaboration across both teams and between individuals
- Establish high levels of both personal and team accountability
- Have the ability to track and measure performance of all teams in real time
- Clearly identify the heroes that thrive in the heart of all organisations
- Execute your plans and strategies brilliantly.
And although that may be enough, the implementation of The One Discipline will bring side benefits
which in themselves are things many organisations would be grateful for. These include:
- The development of coaching, facilitation and leadership skills in managers
- The opportunity to create dynamic and results focussed appraisals for individuals and teams
- Create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to contribute
- Create new levels of communication and understanding across the organisation
- Bring a new and innovative approach to the way partners relationships and managed and measured.
The One Discipline is the way you can fully engage the hearts and minds of your whole enterprise. As one of our clients has said “We spend fortunes trying integrate the capabilities of our systems. This work integrates the capabilities of our people. It has been of enormous value”
Or to use the words of the old song........
“It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it. That’s what gets results”
