Strategic Planning and Deployment can be found in many forms throughout the world. Regardless of what specific process you use, the universal major steps of this process can be categorized as Prepare, Prioritize, and Sustain. Each of these steps must be systematic and requires commitment, support, and governance. Coaches, business leaders, and process coaches all play critical roles to ensure proper deployment, learning, and integration. To maximize results the plan should be cascaded from the highest level of the organization to individual employee annual objectives (priorities).
The Performance Excellence Network is pleased to welcome Dan Maus, Continuous Improvement Internal Consultant at General Mills, to our December 7 PEN breakfast: “Delivering Results throughout the Organization via Cascaded Strategic Planning and Deployment.”
Dan will share best practices in strategic planning used by General Mills and other organizations. He’ll also introduce tool called OGSM (Objectives, Goals, Strategies, Measures) that can be used by any organization for planning and/or project scoping.
The discussion is Dec 7 Minneapolis Community and Technical College, downtown Minneapolis, in room L3000 (details provided after registration). Continental breakfast will be served from 7:30 to 8:00 with the presentation from 8:00 to 9:00 am. To register, contact Brian Lassiter at [email protected].
