Project prioritization becomes more strategici-nexus
Very few organizations have the luxury of committing to a range of projects without having an effective way of prioritizing these. One could argue that this issue is more likely to be experienced by organizations that are relatively immature in their operational excellence or strategy execution journey. We’re not necessarily finding that. As companies continue to look to cut waste, improve efficiencies and improve the effectiveness of their strategy processes, project prioritization has become a hot topic.
The document discusses several aspects of strategic management including activating strategies, measurement, reporting, implementation, barriers, and structural considerations. Activating strategies involves institutionalizing the strategy and translating objectives. Measurement and reporting are challenges due to objectively assessing concepts like opinions. Implementation requires developing an organization to carry out the strategy, allocating resources, and using strategic leadership. Barriers to evaluation include needing corrective action if standards are not met and lack of cooperation. There are three models of strategy: linear which focuses on planning, adaptive which changes in response to the environment, and interpretive which emphasizes interpretation and responses. Structural considerations for implementation include structuring work, aligning functions, establishing authority, developing partnerships, and fostering cooperation.

Unit 7 implementation phase of strategic managementRoshan Pant
Implementation is the execution phase that ensures the objectives set during planning are achieved. All employees must understand their roles and responsibilities, and performance measures provide feedback to identify successes and areas for improvement. Companies closely monitor processes during implementation to quickly make necessary changes, such as expediting product delivery if shipping is identified as too slow based on common customer complaints. Functional plans lay out guidelines for each department, including production, marketing, finance, and human resources, to support the overall strategy. Functional policies provide boundaries to guide decision-making within each department.

Health Care Business Operations and Performance
Introduction
In this module, you will explore the relationship and potential synergy created by consistent vision, mission, goals, and strategic plan. Health care strategy can be formed in one of two ways: it is intended and deliberate, which is created by plans, or it emerges through a pattern of uncoordinated decisions and actions (it just happens). Plans help to create a deliberate strategy. This is a discovery process in which health care organizations define their markets and assess internal operations. Plans move the organization forward toward the realization of a vision. The strategic plan or plan of action is necessary to achieve certain goals and objectives. The plan helps to create alignment and consensus around the organization's intentions. Key managers help to organize efforts and garner momentum for these strategies.
The Strategic Plan
The strategic plan changes or creates additional service lines, clinical procedures, and geographic locations of new clinics, rooms, or other facilities. The plan helps decide where to allocate resources for the high-level initiatives such as new medical technologies. The plan also identifies potential partners for an integrated delivery network or expanded system. When assessing a health care organization, ask what evidence you see of them attempting to work towards a certain vision. What services are they providing? How do they implement the strategy? How are they different from other clinical organizations in the community? How do they remain competitive?
Operations Internal Assessment and Improvement
Introduction
In this module, you will learn to identify methods of assessing and improving the quality of a health care organization. Developing processes is critical in assessing and improving quality since a process is how work gets accomplished. Until processes are fully documented, the interactions and steps cannot be appreciated. The "as-is process" documents what is actually occurring, versus what is supposed to occur. The "to-be process" documents the vision and the proposed process once improvements have been made. By fixing the process, you improve performance. The business process is a set of activities and tasks that are performed in sequence to achieve a specific outcome. The strategy of process improvement increases the throughput (capacity or volume) of a process; eliminates choke points or bottlenecks; and reduces costs, steps, waste, and resources. Look for steps that add value and eliminate those that do not. Reduce the variation in performance over time, remembering that variability causes resource inefficiency.
Analyzing Performance
Methods for analyzing performance include trend analysis and benchmarking. Trend analysis helps health care organizations answer the question, "How are we performing over time?" Benchmarking asks how we compare to our competition. Benchmarking is th ...

This document provides an overview of strategic management and project management. It defines strategy as a long-term plan to achieve objectives. There are three levels of strategy: corporate, business, and functional. Strategic management is the process of analyzing the environment, formulating strategy, implementing strategy, and evaluating performance. Project management is initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing work to achieve goals within constraints. Network analysis and PERT/CPM are techniques to systematically plan and manage projects.
Strategic planning process and the role of hrwilliamwachira
Strategic planning is a long-term process that helps organizations define goals and plans to achieve them. It involves analyzing internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external opportunities and threats. The strategic planning process consists of four main stages: formulation, development, implementation, and evaluation. In the formulation stage, organizations develop vision, mission and value statements. In the development stage, goals are established and strategies created after analyzing internal and external factors. In the implementation stage, action plans are made and resources allocated. Finally, in the evaluation stage, performance is assessed and strategies modified if needed to ensure goals are met.

The document discusses undertaking a strategic audit to improve a company's performance. It recommends the following initial steps:
1) Analyze the external environment, including competition, market trends, and changes in customer needs.
2) Evaluate the company's resources and capabilities to determine what is and isn't working given the company's growth.
3) Assess if the company has the right people in the right jobs and make changes if needed.
4) Review the strategic plan and vision to ensure they are aligned with current capabilities.
This document provides a summary of useful sources of information on change management compiled by Melanie Franklin. It outlines four key areas: (1) the importance of effective project management in change initiatives, (2) identifying return on investment from change management activities, (3) the need for organizations to build internal capability for change, and (4) how strategic execution relies on effective change management. The sources highlighted provide guidance on developing change strategies and measuring their success.
1. Strategy implementation involves both macro and micro-organizational issues that can affect success. At the macro level, elements like technology, rewards systems, decision processes, and organizational structure must be coordinated. At the micro level, organizational culture and resistance to change among employees must be considered.
2. Resource allocation is the process of assigning limited resources, like people and funding, to achieve strategic goals. It involves deciding which initiatives or business units receive resources and at what level, as well as contingency plans for adjusting resources up or down.
3. When determining organizational structure to support a strategy, factors to examine include changes in strategic intent, required capabilities, dominant industry forces, leadership style, and culture. Common

The document discusses effective resource capacity planning and management. It notes that only 20% of executives are confident in their resource allocations for implementing strategy. A lack of agility and prioritization in resource management can lead to lower productivity and higher costs. The document provides guidelines for resource planning including: expressing demand in hours or headcount depending on what is most meaningful; allowing flexibility in high-level or bottom-up planning depending on the project; and choosing direct staffing by project managers or a formal approval process depending on the resource and project. Following these guidelines can help PMOs enhance resource planning to accelerate business growth.
Management model for exploratory investment in IT WGroup
The ability to evaluate these new technologies in a practical environment where their technological value and impact on business and IT operations can be assessed is extremely important. Exploratory efforts should be structured and controlled similarly to other major projects and in addition should be evaluated for use in the production environment. In addition to evaluating the technical capabilities and practical application of the new technology, IT must evaluate the “fit” of the new technology in the existing service portfolio or catalog. In this article, WGroup has developed a new class of IT investment, referred to as “Exploratory,” along with a supporting management model to guide the effort through the evaluation phases and ensure a tight fit within the service catalog.
This document discusses why project managers need to understand their organization's strategy and strategic management processes. It provides three key reasons:
1. Project managers need to understand strategy to make appropriate project decisions and adjustments based on whether the organization prioritizes innovation, cost efficiency, speed to market, etc.
2. Project managers must be able to advocate for their projects and explain how each project contributes to the organization's mission and strategy to gain support from senior management.
3. Strategic management involves reviewing the organization's mission, analyzing external and internal factors, formulating strategies, setting objectives, and implementing strategies through projects. It provides focus and consistency across all levels of the organization.

The document discusses effective resource capacity planning and management. It notes that only 20% of executives are confident in their resource allocations for implementing strategy. A lack of agility and prioritization in resource management can lead to lower productivity and higher costs. The document provides guidelines for resource planning including: expressing demand in hours or headcount depending on what is most meaningful; allowing flexibility in high-level or bottom-up planning depending on the project; and choosing direct staffing by project managers or a formal approval process depending on the resource and project. Following these guidelines can help PMOs enhance resource planning to accelerate business growth.
Management model for exploratory investment in IT WGroup
The ability to evaluate these new technologies in a practical environment where their technological value and impact on business and IT operations can be assessed is extremely important. Exploratory efforts should be structured and controlled similarly to other major projects and in addition should be evaluated for use in the production environment. In addition to evaluating the technical capabilities and practical application of the new technology, IT must evaluate the “fit” of the new technology in the existing service portfolio or catalog. In this article, WGroup has developed a new class of IT investment, referred to as “Exploratory,” along with a supporting management model to guide the effort through the evaluation phases and ensure a tight fit within the service catalog.
This document discusses why project managers need to understand their organization's strategy and strategic management processes. It provides three key reasons:
1. Project managers need to understand strategy to make appropriate project decisions and adjustments based on whether the organization prioritizes innovation, cost efficiency, speed to market, etc.
2. Project managers must be able to advocate for their projects and explain how each project contributes to the organization's mission and strategy to gain support from senior management.
3. Strategic management involves reviewing the organization's mission, analyzing external and internal factors, formulating strategies, setting objectives, and implementing strategies through projects. It provides focus and consistency across all levels of the organization.

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR ComplianceAggregage
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements
3. As a company de
fi
nes its business strategy, each
function must align its objectives and actions to
support its strategic goals. Talent management
strategy is a key process that the HR function follows
to accomplish this directive by identifying priorities
and setting up plans to advance talent management
practices. It is directly enabling corporate strategy. It is
a compass to decide how to design and prioritize
talent management and other HR programs, services,
and policies and guide how they should mature over
time.
This process follows a periodic cycle, typically
conducted on an annual basis, where the HR team
analyzes current and future business and organizational
needs, reviews its talent management programs and
practices to assess if they respond adequately to those
needs, and identi
fi
es adjustments.

These improvements may enhance the effectiveness
and ef
fi
ciency of services provided in response to
regulatory, operational, technological, or employee
experience opportunity areas.
Talent management strategy is different from “Talent
Strategy”, which includes looking into business
requirements in terms of the capabilities required by
the organization, the ways to access them in the
market, and their development, maintenance, and
retention. It is also distinct from “HR Strategy”, which
focuses on de
fi
ning how to organize and operate the
HR function, as well as determining what processes,
policies, and services will be part of it at any given
stage.
4. Talent management strategy is useful for prioritizing
time and investment decisions on the most important
initiatives for the organization, not only the most
urgent. It is an overarching plan that encompasses all
talent management areas, helping align the HR agenda
with the business strategy.
It allows HR teams and key stakeholders across the
business to collaborate and agree on main objectives
and a roadmap of improvement initiatives.
The scope typically comprises programs supporting
the worker life cycle, which involves attracting,
accessing, engaging, managing, augmenting,
developing, and transitioning talent. Nevertheless, the
process creates the opportunity to holistically review
other areas driven by HR to evaluate and improve.

HR teams would implement all the initiatives
identi
fi
ed as desired practices. However, it is often
necessary to prioritize based on a number of
important considerations.
Howitworks

Value Alignment: The degree of impact on the
company’s value drivers. These might be business,
organizational, or outcome based, including:
a. Support of business strategy or transformation –
Impact or contribution that the practice could have on
business objectives or transformative projects.
b. Enable future business growth – Extent to which
the initiative sets the company up for future success
from a business or organizational perspective.
c. Improvement importance – The degree to which it
will be critical to improve on the particular area, based
on data from analyses, assessments, or feedback.
d. Impact on overall employee experience – The role
that the practice will have on enhancing employee
branding, creating positive employee experiences, or
helping align organizational culture.
Select differentiation factors and run
analysis to evaluate improvement
initiatives
The simplest approach to ensuring some degree of
analytical rigor while allowing leaders to visually
differentiate among options when defining the practices
most critical for the organization is to employ a
prioritization matrix.
The matrix requires two main categories to analyze and
map initiatives. Typically, the categories to use are value
alignment vs build difficulty.
7. Build Dif
fi
culty: How dif
fi
cult or easy it is to execute
the activities necessary to implement the practice or
initiative; the level of resources needed and other
requirements that might or not be available. Useful
differentiation factors to consider are:
a. Investment dependency – Financial resources required
to build and deploy the practice including technologies
needed not currently available in the organization.
b. Talent needed – Total relative (to the other
initiatives) number of people required and ability of
the organization or team to access the necessary
skillsets needed to implement.
c. Time required – Total time needed to have the
initiative up and running from the design or adaptation
of practices to its full rollout.
d. Degree of complexity – Rami
fi
cations that originate
from implementing and operating the new practice
including interdependencies with other functions of
the organization, processes, and systems, as well as
the extent of changes required.
7
Each practice initiative can be evaluated separately
considering the individual differentiation factors per
category based on an interval scale from 5 to 0, where
5 is the highest and 0 the lowest rating.
At this stage, it is not necessary to have very detailed
information or analysis, only enough to compare
initiatives.
Scores are added to obtain a total score per category
for each initiative to plot in the prioritization matrix.
The “Targeted Practice Prioritization Tool” can aid this
analysis.
Depending on the type of organization and the
emphasis on particular business objectives, the
categories might be switched for others or speci
fi
c
evaluation criteria might be different.

The evaluation process provides an analytical basis for
a preliminary differentiation of the practices or
improvement initiatives up for consideration. This
initial view of priorities needs validation from key
stakeholders to obtain the appropriate buy-in from
the business and identify required resources.
This validation occurs through a working session
where participants collectively review the prioritization
matrix with the preliminary plotting of practice
initiatives.
During this meeting, stakeholders discuss the relative
importance of initiatives and may suggest changes to
the placement of each in the matrix and/or decide if a
particular initiative should be target over others.
Usually, initiatives placed at the top-right of the matrix
are considered “Quick Wins” due to their high degree
of impact on the value drivers.
They are also considered relatively easier to
implement than the rest. The second group of
initiatives are those at the top-left and identi
fi
ed as
“Highly Important”, ranking high in value but
considered more dif
fi
cult to implement. Most of the
discussion typically happens when deciding which of
the initiatives in the second group should be targeted
based on the budget and resources available.
There is a great degree of
fl
exibility with regards to
whom should attend this type of validation session,
but it is important to maintain the number of
participants to a manageable size. Some stakeholders
to consider include:
-The CEO and other top leaders
-Operational leaders (e.g. business units)
-Functional leaders (e.g.
fi
nance, planning, etc.)
-High Potential (HIPOs) leaders (they represent
future leaders and may have signi
fi
cant in
fl
uence)
-HR Team (to also function as facilitators)
Align on priorities with key
stakeholders
10. 10
The main outcome of the session is a validated selection of prioritized practice initiatives that stakeholders will support.
Additionally, there could be agreements on available resources, project owners, expected timelines, or the sequence to
follow to implement each initiative. In some cases, it may be considered outsourcing the implementation of some
initiatives to external parties, such as service providers, consultants, or freelancers.
At this stage, with a focus on only the targeted practice
initiatives, conducting further evaluation is necessary to
clarify what will be required for their design, build, and
deployment.Someoftheaspectstodefineperinitiativeare:
-Initiative project owner or leader
-Supporting team and roles
-Skillsets needed to design, build, and deploy
-Budget and main expenses
-Key interdependencies (other initiatives required to
be in place prior or to be implemented after)
-Time required to complete
-Stakeholders to be involved
-Decision for outsourcing support
All this information will be considered for and

Identify requirements and
capabilities
De
fi
ne high-level roadmap and
timelines
The talent management programs’ roadmap is a
planning document where initiatives are sequenced
based on an agreed time range that corresponds to the
improvement cycles. The purpose of the roadmap is to
distribute workload across time and consider
moments where there are other activities taking
employees’ or HR teams’ attention (e.g., when
performance reviews are being conducted or during
an engagement and satisfaction survey).
The roadmap is time-bound, with initiatives typically
falling in one of three time-horizons:
-NOW: Initiatives that are the basis for other
initiatives or have been classi
fi
ed as “Quick Wins”.
11. 11
-NEXT: Often for initiatives identi
fi
ed as “Highly
Important”.
-LATER: Usually for the rest of the initiatives or
those requiring multiple other initiatives to be
implemented previously.
The speci
fi
c time ranges vary for each company and
HR team based on their resources and other
commitments. When the improvement cycle is yearly,
the NOW stage is usually set to 3-6 months and the
NEXT phase to 6-12 months, with LATER initiatives
being pushed into the following year.
It is important to consider that some initiatives may
have a longer horizon (e.g., implementing a new
performance management process that must be
piloted in year one with a speci
fi
c audience and to the
rest of the organization in year two).
The other important distinction to make is to separate
initiatives into two classi
fi
cations, which will also
in
fl
uence the way initiatives are sequenced:
a. Independent Initiatives – These initiatives are not
dependent on other initiatives to be in implemented
fi
rst. That doesn’t mean that these initiatives might
not have requirements or link to initiatives already in
place in the organization. Further, these initiatives
may or may not be foundational for others in the
roadmap.
b. Interdependent Initiatives – These initiatives
require others in the roadmap to be in place before
being implemented. Therefore, they may need to be
sequenced later in the roadmap.
The “Talent Management Programs Roadmap Tool” can
be used to facilitate the planning exercise and
document
fi
nal decisions.
