Why Utilize a StratOp? 

The same proven system that has helped start-ups and billion-dollar organizations increase and expand

Engaging a StratOp for Your Organization:

  • Gives you perspective on all of the Strategic, Financial, and Operational parts of your organization
  • Helps you know Where You Stand
  • Clarifies Where You Should Go
  • Gives you a customized plan on How To Get There

What is the StratOp Process?

You and your leaders will invest in a comprehensive system which weaves the Strategic, Operational and Financial functions of your business together to gain priceless perspective. 

Together, your team will examine all internal and external realities facing your business, and then craft a core plan and strategy which will be measurable, incrementally installed, and keenly adapted to internal and external changes.

Over three days, we use 25 custom tools to guide your team into the six phases of the StratOp process:

Ten Wins You Can Expect

  • A Holistic Approach

    The StratOp system looks at your entire organization as one organism with its various organs working together for overall health.

  • Enterprise Health Management

    All voices from your team have the freedom to speak into the health of the whole business. If one part suffers, you all suffer work together towards health.

  • Adaptation to Change

    Constant adaptation to change on the micro and macro levels is built in to the StratOp process. Decision making is made simple when you know how to respond to changes. 

  • Logical Work Organization

    Building the core plan and installing it leads to logical, empowered, and organized teams with increased confidence in their decision making.

  • Multi-Dimensional Leaders

    The StratOp includes built-in leadership development, to give those with leadership competencies and potential the opportunity to develop, grow, and lead.

  • Integrated Approach

    Both the Strategic and Operational need to be Financed. The StratOp process weaves these three elements together like three strands to a rope.

  • A Self Managing System

    The StratOp will help your team adapt to change, reinvent itself when needed, and make cross-functional decisions, all while aiming to develop your people.

  • A Relentless War on Waste

    The process is a horizontal system, reviewing all functions. Since we’ll review with breadth, waste will continuously be exposed and new efficiencies discovered.

  • Discern Performance Drivers

    The StratOp identifies what is driving performance breakthroughs. Since these control the outcome of your plan's success, the system will guide you to manage them towards higher performance.

  • Identify Enterprise W.I.N.'s

    Lou Holtz coined the term W.I.N.'s, standing for "What's Important Now." The StratOp system guides you to focus on, and manage, your W.I.N.'s because you can't do everything at once.

FAQs

Why is it called a "StratOp"?

The word "StratOp" blends two words vital to a successful strategic planning process. "Strat" stands for strategic, the art of planning for tomorrow, today. "Op" stands for operational, the discipline of managing today, today. Thus, it is a Strategic-Operational planning process: we must plan for tomorrow - today while ensuring we manage today - today.

Who in the organization should be involved?

Having the right people in the room is a key component to a successful StratOp. The ideal team is comprised of six to twelve persons who are the key voices in your organization; who come from a variety of functions, are a healthy mix of ages, gender and tenure and above all, are those who can think like a "shop owner" regardless of their position.

Where will we gather?

Your office, our office, or another site. The key is to find a comfortable, distraction-free place where we can focus for three days.

What will I receive at the end of the process?

You get a ready-to-install, customized strategic operating plan, both in a Plan-On-A-Page (see example here) format and with a supporting playbook (hard copies and electronic formats).

You get unity and alignment in leadership. You get clarified roles and a plan to move towards your vision while resourcing the staff to tend to the operational realities they face.

What is your role as Facilitator?

As facilitator, I bring Process while you and your team bring Content. I will manage the strategic planning process so you and your team can focus on developing a plan that will bring your team to breakthrough levels of thinking. If necessary, I will slow down the pace in order to ascend to the mountaintop of perspective. This is not a cookie cutter process; it is very creative and highly customized. It's a lot of fun too!

What ongoing support do you provide following our StratOp?

As your Certified Facilitator, I will be with you on site for each one of the creation and implementation meetings, and I’ll then be available for monthly coaching and quarterly on-site visits to ensure a smooth transition to operationalizing your strategic operating system.

We hired Tom Clegg for a day of leadership training and found him to have uncommon wisdom when he speaks, as well as an amazing ability to ask the right questions and get to the heart of our issues. I highly recommend Tom for any organization that wants improve their leadership effectiveness!
