Strategy shapes the organisation
Trace a strategic choice into the arrangements that help people deliver it.
THE STRATEGIC CHOICE
Who do we serve, what value do we create, and how will we
compete?
TEST THE ORGANISATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
Capabilities
What must we be able to
do exceptionally well?
Structure
How should responsibility
and work be grouped?
Decision rights
Who decides, commits
resources, and resolves
conflicts?
People
Which skills, capacity,
and learning does the
work require?
Rewards
Which results and
behaviours receive
recognition?
Culture
What do daily choices
teach people to prioritise?
LOOK FOR COHERENCE
Do these arrangements reinforce the advantage we have chosen?
A leadership conversation
Name one conflict between the strategy and today’s arrangements. Assign an owner and a
practical change to test.
