Executive Coaching

Your Growth Blocker In A Nutshell...

The #1 reason strategic planning fails is not poor planning… it's poor execution.

Strategic Plans need to reinforce the company’s desired culture. A company’s culture refers to the attitudes and behaviors of a company and its employees. It is evident in the way the organization’s people interact with each other, the values they hold, and the decisions they make.

When a company has a strong culture, three things happen: 1) employees know how top management wants them to respond to any situation, 2) employees believe that the expected response is the proper one, and 3) employees know that they will be rewarded for demonstrating the organization’s values.

The Top mistakes with strategic planning:

Too many strategic goals
Goals are not tied to measurable outcomes
Employees are unaware of the goals
Performance measures are not aligned to organizational goals
Organizational culture is overlooked

At its core, company culture is how things get done around the workplace.

Company culture is how you do what you do in the workplace. It’s the sum of your formal & informal systems and behaviors & values, all of which create an experience for your employees and customers.

A strong company culture has significant impacts on a company’s performance:

Attract top talent
Increased employee engagement
Improved job satisfaction
Drive company-wide innovation

What You Need To Focus On Now

Based on the very limited information you provided in the assessment, I would suggest that you start working on adding the following items...

Strategic Planning

Strategic Planning is the process of identifying an organization's long-term goals and objectives and then determining the best approach for achieving those goals and objectives. Key elements of a strategic plan include a Vision Statement, Mission Statement, and Core Values.

Vision Statement looks forward and creates a mental image of the ideal state that the organization wishes to achieve. It is inspirational and aspirational and should challenge employees. 
Mission Statement is a concise explanation of the organization's reason for existence. It describes the organization's purpose and its overall intention.
Core Values list the core principles that guide and direct the organization and its culture.

Strategic Execution

Strategy Execution is the implementation of a strategic plan in an effort to reach organizational goals. It comprises the daily structures, systems, and operational goals that set your team up for success. Even the best strategic plans can fall flat without the right execution.

Why Do These Results Matter?

Because with this information you are on your way to dealing with your #1 growth blocker and building a better manufacturing company.

Hi - I’m Mike O'Neill, and I created this assessment to help you uncover what's holding your company back from growing and scaling in a way that makes you happy.

Over the last 40 years I've worked with clients from small to Fortune 500 manufacturing companies around the world as they scaled their companies quickly, building my knowledge of how to create the right recipe for success and learning how to pivot and avoid potential problems.

I have identified that there are 3 main areas of problems - people, process and planning.

And that led me to create this assessment, so you can get clarity about your primary growth blocker and leverage that knowledge to break down barriers and scale the way you want.
