Customer Satisfaction 1 2 3 4 5
Employee Satisfaction 1 2 3 4 5
Financial Performance 1 2 3 4 5
Operational Performance 1 2 3 4 5

Strategic
Planning

Activity: Start with Strategy
• Begin with your strategic plan – what things are
critical to future success?
A.
• Focus on customers – what values will we add to
our customers?
A.
• Define the processes – how will we deliver these
services to our customers?
A.
• Build the organization – what capabilities must we
put in place?
A.

Strategic Objectives
• Once we establish our first anchor (goals), we can
develop a set of strategic objectives.
• Strategic objectives define what actions must be
taken to reach the strategic goals.
• Objectives are critical to future success. For
example, in order to grow revenues, we must
introduce new products and expand our market
share.This document is a partial preview. Full document download can be found on Flevy:

Strategic Model
• Strategic Models can emerge from four
principles:
1. Translate strategies into operating terms.
2. Link strategies throughout the entire
organization.
3. Commit everyone to implementing strategy.
4. Make strategizing a continuous process of
learning and adjusting to change.This document is a partial preview. Full document download can be found on Flevy:

Strategic Mapping
• Strategic Maps are the foundation of the Balanced
Scorecard.
• You will need one strategic map for each strategic
theme.
• Maps are constructed over four perspectives.
• Strategic objectives are mapped over the four
perspectives, linked together.
What is a Strategy Map ?
A visual representation of an organization's strategy and the
processes and systems necessary to implement that strategy. A
strategy map will show employees how their jobs are linked to the
organization's overall objectives.

Step Five –
Performance Measures

Measurement Criteria
• Measurements should drive change, providing
teeth to our strategy.
• Measurements define objectives in specific terms.
A good measurement should tell you what your
objective is – this is an indicator of good linkage.
• Measurements should be repeatable, quantifiable,
and verifiable.

KPI Development - What; Who; When; What x2
• SMART
– Specific
– Measurable
– Achievable
– Realistic
– Time Bound

Financial Performance
• A few key financial statistics are used to measure overall
organisational performance;
• Financial metrics cover the past, present and the future
performance;
• Financial statistics are tightly linked to key success factors;
• Overall financial measures like EVA, MVA or ROI are used to push
profitable growth;
• The organisation knows the true cost of its processes and
products/services;
• The organisation continually evaluates and improves its financial
metrics to search for just the right measures that will predict long
and short term success.

Product / Service Quality
• Quality measurement dimensions are defined based on factors that
will delight customers;
• Collect data on sufficiently large samples of products/services;
• Assign an importance weight to each quality dimension, based
upon the relative importance of each to customers;
• Summarise product/service quality data into aggregate indices
such as an overall quality index;
• Set standards for product/service quality levels based on customer
requirements and quality levels of world-class organisations’
product/services;
• Use objective third-party product/service quality data to
supplement internal data.

Employee Satisfaction
• Employees are segmented according to common needs; systemic
research is done at least once a year to determine employee needs
and priorities;
• Formal morale surveys are conducted;
• Focus groups are used to gather qualitative data;
• Absenteeism and turnover are collected & reported;
• Measures relating to employee morale focus on delighting
employees rather than just satisfying them;
• Individual measures relating to employee satisfaction are
summarised into an Employee Satisfaction Index;
• Data are collected on employee satisfaction levels of other similar
organisations for comparison and goal setting;
• Methods used to measure employee satisfaction are continually
evaluated and improved.

Targets
• Once you establish measurements, you need to set a target
for each measurement.
• Targets push the organization to a required level of
performance.
• Targets put focus on the strategy, expressing the specifics
of the strategy.
• When an organization hits its targets, then it has
successfully implemented its strategy.This document is a partial preview. Full document download can be found on Flevy:
