STRATEGIC THINKING - STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP

The management team of the organisation is loyal and hardworking, and they have the best of operational and strategic intentions. But their shortcomings are typical. One area where significant improvement is needed is the strategy process:

• In formulating a strategic vision for the organisation based on facts, informed assumptions, and the best-possible what-if thinking
• In implementing and communicating the vision throughout the organisation to clarify and align the role of every strategically critical player and process
• In monitoring and updating the vision to ensure its continued strength, agility, and relevance

Senior management now has a grip on the needs of strategic planning in terms of business plans, objectives, measures and targets and while there is still much to be done in this area, these operational imperatives must be continued under an improved umbrella of vision and mission.

This umbrella of future vision, of understanding the future direction of the organisation, and of putting in place the 'strategic markers' by which this future can be delivered and measured, can be the role of the Board of Directors working hand-in-hand with Senior Management.

A Strategic Leadership Team can provide the Chairman and the Board with an opportunity to influence what will be the future; allowing the CEO and the Senior Management Team to plan how will that future be delivered.

This powerful combination of directors and senior managers will provide a mechanism to improve management performance as well as governance performance. It overcomes the risk that clearly exists when a company lacks a coherent strategy and thus is vulnerable. It also mitigates a further risk that a company can have a clear direction and squander it through shoddy implementation. Added to strategic leadership is the element of managing three key strategic risks: demand, competition, and capability.

Strategy is about the top team's vision - and will. It is about forward thinking, rather than financial projections and trend lines into the unknown. It is about direction, not time. Strategy deals with what an organisation wants to become.
