In the modern organization, developing an effective strategy is essential for success. For many organizations, however, it is a challenge not only to formulate strategic plans, but also to turn them into concrete actions that produce tangible results. And how do you involve people in this? Of course, you want them to embrace the change instead of going into resistance. At The New Wave IT, we understand this challenge and offer guidance every step of the way, with a focus on partnerships and human involvement. Wondering how we are currently putting this proven approach back to work for our clients?
Phase 1: Brainstorming and formulating objective
It all starts with a powerful brainstorming session along the way to a strategic plan, in which we work with our clients to establish core values, goals and desired outcomes. What do you want to achieve in the future, what are the key pillars, and most importantly, why do you want to achieve it? This phase lays the foundation for a strategic plan that gives direction to the organization and its partners. What does the business want to achieve and how do we connect your IT organization to it?
Phase 2: Establishing concrete goals
With the objective clearly in mind, we proceed to define concrete, measurable goals that support this objective. These goals serve as quantitative elements along the road to success and help prioritize and measure progress.
Phase 3: Formulating strategies
This is where the essence of strategic planning comes in. We work with our clients to identify the best routes to achieve their stated goals. This includes analyzing market trends, competition, internal capabilities and other relevant factors. It's important to really prioritize here, what do we do and what above all do we NOT do? Focus ensures that we achieve the goals together.
Phase 4: Creating action items and measuring progress
A strategy is only as good as the actions that flow from it. We help our clients translate strategic plans into concrete measures and action items, with clear responsibilities and deadlines. We also establish metrics to measure the success of strategies.
Phase 5: Linkage to organizational levels and guidance to a Strategy-oriented organization
To ensure that the strategy is understood and embraced at all levels of the organization, we integrate it with the organizational chart. This ensures a clear line of accountability and commitment at all levels. We translate the plan to all teams. Do you work #Scrum, #Agile, #Lean or #DevOps, doesn't matter! We translate all plans to your entire operation and make sure it gets down to the roots.
Engaging People in Change
We believe in the power of employee involvement and participation in strategic change. They are involved during the creation of the plan and have a responsible role in its implementation. Therefore, we coach employees and encourage them to actively participate in the process. This not only increases the acceptance of the change, but also the involvement and motivation of the team.
Conclusion: towards a successful future
By following these steps and incorporating human engagement, The New Wave IT guides organizations toward a future of strategic success. By collaborating, learning and evolving, we build lasting partnerships and thriving organizations in an ever-changing business environment.
