MANAGING THE BUSINESS OR ORGANIZATION

STRATEGIC PLANNING, EXECUTION AND THE STRATEGY OFFICER

Strategy draws on the purpose and goals of your organization.  It is a choice between alternative strategies and defines the way strategic goals are to be achieved. Strategic planning is the essential next step of converting strategy into financial and operational plans for business units, departments, and locations.

Execution is the key; the best strategies will flounder without good execution at a granular level.

The process is rigorous and calls for the strategic planning skills of an expert. Such an expert is the Strategy Officer. He is the right-hand man of the CEO and leads the management team through the planning process and with execution thereafter.

Call on Sunil Raavi for strategic planning expertise for your business or organization.

YOUR LEADERSHIP AND YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM

It is important to upgrade the leadership skills of the senior management team.  The CEO, at the helm of the organization, must be a strong leader who can inspire the senior team and staff at all levels to keep progressing in the chosen direction. The quality of your leadership team determines the level of success (or failure) that will be achieved.

How strong is the top leadership in your business/organization?

Call on Sunil Raavi for leadership training for the senior team, as well as for managers at other levels in the organization.

THE SEVEN ELEMENTS OF BUSINESS GROWTH

Planned business growth happens when leadership focuses on seven elements of the composite business/organization. While large organizations have the skilled leadership that naturally executes on these elements, smaller organizations do not. When these elements are well-coordinated, growth happens. There is one other element: resource allocation.  It is not included because it gets covered under strategy and planning.

Call on Sunil Raavi for a presentation and a plan to focus on these elements.

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CORPORATE CULTURE

The organization is the people who run the business. It is crucial to develop the organization so that it may run like an efficient machine. There are many elements of organizational development that are used to train and keep the organization in top shape and to achieve goals according to the strategic plan.

Corporate Culture is as natural as culture is in people. It is strongly influenced by the culture that people bring to work with them every day. Your corporate culture may then be very different from the culture you think you have; unknown to you, it could be a negative culture.

Can you mould or change your corporate culture? Yes, and you can conceive the ideal culture for your business/organization, making sure it draws on your purpose and your organizational values. It takes time and patience, but you can create an ideal (or better) culture. 

For organizational development and for creating a corporate culture of your choice, call on Sunil Raavi.

THE CORE OF YOUR BUSINESS/ORGANIZATION

At the heart of your business/organization is the reason why you exist.  This is your purpose, which you hold front and center. Your vision, mission and values provide clarity at different levels. Your CORE is the basis of everything you do, how you operate and why your stakeholders believe in you.

The CORE must be very strong because it is the foundation upon which your business/ organization stands.

Call on Sunil Raavi to help you build a strong Core for the success that can follow.

THE SCALE OF EXCELLENCE

Grade your business/organization on the SCALE OF EXCELLENCE:

Make this personal assessment for each of the following elements:

• • Core/ foundation
  • Strategic Planning
  • Leadership
  • Execution
  • Culture
  • Communication and Messaging

Where do you stand on the Scale of Excellence, on each of these elements?  Do you rate at 80%?  A failing grade is possible; a grade of 100% is most unlikely and needs strong justification.   If you are anywhere below 80%, you need the assistance of a professional coach to uplift the whole organization.  All elements must be developed simultaneously, growing to a fully developed state together, because your organization is one integrated whole.
