Gain Buy-in & Connection By Employees To Company's Strategy

Gain Buy-in and Emotional Connection From Employees

Is your strategy accessible or is it shrouded in mystery? Are your employees personally committed to your strategy?

We are here to help you build emotional connections.

Putting Strategy into Action

For your strategy to be successfully executed, it must be the focus of every person in your company. Unfortunately, most strategies are expressed as high-level statements that resonate at the leadership level but only make partial sense to the rest of the organization.

To achieve your goals, you’ll need to invest time and money into achieving employee acceptance and understanding of your strategy. In order to achieve a competitive difference, you’ll want to go a step further and emotionally engage employees with your strategy. We are here to help you be successful.

“Only 14% of employees understand their company’s strategy.”

Turn Strategy into Action

As employees commit themselves to the company’s strategy, they need guidance and training in order to translate the strategy into practical changes at an operational level. Employees can rely on managers to help with this, but they will also need to build up the competency of turning strategy into action. Our solutions will help employees grow in the areas of strategy translation, cooperation and communication across silos, analytic thinking, and data/metric interpretation.

We provide a range of custom-designed solutions to effectively enable your employees to implement your strategy using a plan that you pre-approve.

We will work with you to design the right level of support, based on your business needs. For some clients, they appreciate our options for implementing or improving the feedback loops – from what’s learned at the operational level to those making adjustments to the strategy.
