Unleashing Organizational Alignment
Today’s organizations face a significant challenge: ensuring that their strategy is not only communicated but also understood and applied effectively. However, data reveals a troubling reality. According to studies, many employees lack clarity regarding the connection between their tasks and organizational goals. Many employees struggle to identify their company’s
strategy, and almost half of all middle managers can’t name the organization’s top priorities.
This predicament resembles a college marching band where students are unsure of the tune to play or the direction to move. Without clear guidance, their actions fall short of the band director’s vision. Similarly, organizations must address the strategic disconnect to achieve
their intended outcomes.
Strategic Plan Facilitation: Creating Results
According to the book “Value Creation, A Definitive Guide for Business Leaders,”
companies that prioritize creating value for employees, customers, and partners and become
“Firms of Endearment” achieve remarkable success. These firms, focusing on customers and fostering
employee and partner loyalty, have achieved a 128% return over five years, surpassing the S&P return
of 13%. Strategic plan facilitation fosters stakeholder buy-in and provides clarity on the current state,
desired destination, and the path to get there.

The Facilitator’s Role in Strategic Planning

facilitation is essential. With expert guidance, the facilitator empowers the group to commit as a unified team
throughout the process.
