The Matrix Strategy & Structure Workshops

Strategic planning into operational action is not only the preserve of Executive Leadership or Senior Management Teams (as they often are considered to be in hierarchical thinking organisations); but is a core competence everyone working in matrix type structures need to develop, in order to respond strategically to the operational challenges of working in fluid and dynamic environments. 21st century companies realise that in order to ‘spin on a dime’ when economies collapse, markets shrink, new ones open, or when key stakeholder needs fundamentally change, requires the strategic ability to leverage operationally core competencies that enable people to proactively respond proactively to these increasingly common place and every day challenges.

Goal Alignment does not happen when an objectives cascade has been ‘communicated’ or ‘driven down’ the organisation (as people with hierarchical mindsets typically believe). Goal Alignment only happens when Stakeholder Alignment has also taken place, they are the WHAT and the HOW elements of strategy into action. The workshops provides people with this 'Strat-OPs' capability using a practical process and structure that is easy to follow and results in the creation of strategic and operational plans that facilitate direction, focus and measurement. As structures become increasingly complex, this workshop shows people how to develop and customise an inclusive & matrix specific approach to strategic planning into operational delivery for their organisation.

People attending the Strategy & Structure Workshop can expect to leave with:

  • An understanding of the differences between Hierarchical and Matrix Strategic Planning
  • The confidence and competence to use a proven and unique process to create 1 page strategic or operational
  plans (yes not a miss-print !, a 1 page plan that everyone in the organisation can actually understand and use !)
  • Practical tools that enable people facilitate the strategic and operational planning process themselves, for
  and with others, for each stage in the strategic and operational planning process
  • A ‘blue-print’ strategic or operational plan for their current role, business area or organisation

1 intensive Day . This Workshop can also be integrated with other Matrix Workshops or topics to create a similarly unique program.
