Do your people know where you want them to go?

If you surveyed the people that work in your business, what percentage of them would know the true strategy and direction for the business in the short and long term. When Neural Networks Consulting (NNC) visit and work with different businesses, it’s not uncommon to find a very formal strategy document sitting on a shelf gathering dust.
What’s even more surprising is that a significant amount of time (and money) has usually been invested in developing the strategy document, in the form of numerous meetings and workgroups, just to let this key piece of the business planning process sit “out of sight” and “out of mind”.
Imagine if you could truly bring your business strategy to life and make it part of your everyday language. This means having it become front of mind for your people, and ultimately increasing their level of focus on achieving businesses goals and aspirations.
We’ve seen with our clients that if the Strategic Intention for their business is brought to life and lived every day, the results simply follow. The people are clear about the overall mission and strategic objectives for the business and they deliver. It’s a bit like driving to a place that you have never been before; how do you get there? You follow the map and arrive at your destination. This works the same way in developing the strategic direction for a business; you know what you want and you need to develop and follow a map to ensure you get there.
Prior to joining NNC, I managed a team in a Direct Sales environment and developed my strategy for success based on the Strategic Intention approach. My personal experience with combining my Strategic Intention with tailored programs provided by NNC, meant that every staff member was engaged with the overall business strategy and they brought it to life resulting in significant outperformance. I did not leave any room for doubt in relation to the results that were going to be achieved. I am sure that most people can think of a time when they set themselves a goal and achieved it, no matter how big or small.
Now think about what you want to achieve either in a personal or business sense and start to develop your own Strategic Intention, remember to bring it to life by making it part of your everyday actions. See what you can achieve!
