Strategic Transformation
Synozur works in concert with your leadership team to develop new business strategies and management frameworks to optimize and elevate your effectiveness. We help our customers implement new company operating systems and detailed adoption strategies tailored to their specific organizational and cultural needs.
Leadership Challenges
According to McKinsey, only 7% of CEOs believe their companies are building effective leadership.
Despite decades of MBA scholarship and countless attempts, many companies never move beyond “BOPSAT” (Bunch Of People Sit Around Talking). Merely talking about strartegy doesn't sustain a strategy-centered culture.
Moving beyond BOPSAT opens pathways for organizational focus and intentionality.
And the costs of not acting add up. Poor, ad-hoc management practices can lead to significant financial losses, such as:
-
reduced productivity
-
unnoticed cost leakage
-
high employee turnover, and
-
missed opportunities
Strategy and Planning
There is no such thing as "strategic planning".
Strategy and planning are often confused, but they are fundamentally different. Strategy involves making choices where the outcomes are beyond your control, such as deciding to expand your product lines or entering a new market. These strategic decisions set the direction for your business and require a long-term vision.
On the other hand, planning involves the specific tactics and actions you will take to execute your strategy, such as organizing a customer training event or launching a marketing campaign. Planning is about determining the steps and resources needed to achieve your strategic goals.
Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are tools used to measure the success of your strategies. They provide a framework for setting and tracking goals, but they do not need to encapsulate every tactical activity within the company. Instead, OKRs focus on the key outcomes that drive your strategic objectives forward.
The Company Operating System
How best to move forward? A Company Operating System (CoS) can help.
A Company Operating System is a framework that creates and maintains clarity and focus on your company's priorities. It includes foundational building blocks, strategy, plans, goals, and measures across the organization. Just like computers, the CoS is the "operating system" for your business, accelerating business performance and results.
Our Approach
We use our Collaborative Thinking Framework - a series of tailored working sessions to design a Company Operating System unique to your organization. We work side-by-side with your leadership to provide training and guidance during the critical stages of adoption. This “focus rhythm” is a critical part of our recipe for your success.
Furthermore, we help you focus on ongoing evaluation and refinement of the CoS to ensure it remains effective and relevant. For many organizations, establishing a Transformation Office is vital to sustain and elevate newly established strategic and operational frameworks
