For Corporate Planners: Four Types of Strategy, and an Expanded View of Your Role
an interview with Dean Meyer on the organizational challenges that impede strategy execution, and the concept of organizational strategy (25 min)
Corporate Planners traditionally only focus on business strategies: what businesses do we want to be in in the future (strategic goals), and how will we get there (strategic initiatives). But Planners can have much greater impact -- on strategy formulation, strategy execution, and organizational performance -- if they expand their thinking to include organizational strategy: how will we design an organizational "machine" that's agile and highly effective at strategy execution; and beyond that, generates creative strategic initiatives everywhere, all the time. This conversation with the program chair of a prominent conference for strategic planners reveals the criticality of organizational design, and the potential expanded role for corporate planners.
