Business Strategy

Business Strategy consultation has become a larger than life, unwieldy, and expensive proposition for senior leaders. At The Leets Consortium our facilitated process works pragmatically, in a phased approach, to assist senior leaders in the creation, clarification, and linking of strategy to results. Examining internal and external factors, mission, vision, and values, and the interaction between strategy, structure, systems, skills, and staffing are aspects of a process that helps make the implementation of strategy everyone's responsibility.

Organizational Diagnosis

Organizational Diagnosis helps organizations identify the “gaps” between “what is” and “what ought to be.” Once we gain a shared vision of the desired state, we can partner in an effort to identify barriers and work toward solutions.

Our Six-Phase approach to organizational diagnosis is tailored to the specific needs of each client:

Phase 1:  Design
We create a partnership with the client to develop a shared understanding of the task, issue, or problem along with a plan for diagnosis.

Phase 2: Diagnose
We examine organizational archival reports/documents and utilize information gathered through interviews, focus groups, questionnaires & surveys, along with objective observations to collect relevant data.

Phase 3: Analyze
After collecting the data, consultants use statistical analysis methods to interpret the data and develop practical recommendations.

Phase 4: Presentation of Findings
This phase involves sharing results with the client to determine an effective intervention strategy. The Leets Consortium uses easy-to-understand language to explain the results of the data collection phase.

Phase 5: Action Planning
We work with key players from your organization to develop an action plan that:

	Fits the needs of your organization
	Will yield measurable results
	Will enhance your organization’s capacity to manage change
	Is catered to your organization’s situation, culture, context, and maturational cycle

Phase 6: Reinforce
We recognize the importance of maintaining a focus on the desired state and helping organizations sustain change initiatives. The reinforce phase ensures effective implementation of our action plan and outlines the next steps to take once the action plan has been implemented.

What is OGTM?
An iterative process that helps management develop and deploy an integrated strategic plan across the organization, defining the specific actions needed to fd deliver competitive advantage at every level in the Company.

Linking Mission & Strategy to Drive Results

Business Strategy/Leadership Development

Challenge: A highly competitive and rapidly growing Regional Telecommunications Firm was struggling with not having enough qualified managers. In addition, the organization had recently changed their business strategy. These changes were negatively impacting performance.

Action: Due to the organization’s needs, The Leets Consortium first identified the successful managerial competencies that were in alignment with the new business strategy. Over 300 managers participated in an assessment center based on the managerial competencies identified. A composite report of the assessment results was delivered to the organization and individual assessment feedback was given to each participant. Two important steps were taken based on the assessment feedback. First, individual development plans were created. Second, a 3-day tailored leadership training and business strategy program was designed and delivered to all managers.
