We work with large organisations globally and generally their goals and objectives can be categorised broadly into 4 main areas including increase revenue, decrease organisation risk, improve employee and/or customer advocacy. To achieve this we are typically involved in digital transformation, operational efficiency, risk management framework and customer experience initiatives.
We see however that executing organisation strategy organisations can be faced with several barriers and challenges, ranging from internal dynamics to external factors. For example:
Lack of Clear Vision and Strategy Communication
If employees don’t understand the organisation’s vision or strategic goals, it becomes difficult for them to align their efforts with the organisation’s objectives.
Resistance to Change
Change can be met with resistance from employees who are comfortable with the status quo or fear the unknown. Overcoming this resistance requires effective change management strategies.
Resource Constraints
Limited financial resources, manpower, or technological infrastructure can hinder the execution of strategic initiatives.
Inadequate Leadership Support
Without strong leadership commitment and support, strategic initiatives may lack direction or fail to gain traction among employees.
Organisational Structure and Culture
A rigid or bureaucratic organisation structure, coupled with a culture that resists innovation or collaboration, can impede the execution of strategic objectives.
Lack of Alignment and Coordination
Different departments or teams may work in silos, leading to misalignment and duplication of efforts. Ensuring coordination and collaboration across the organisation is essential for effective strategy execution.
External Environmental Factors
Economic instability, regulatory changes, market competition, or technological disruptions can pose external challenges that organisations need to navigate while executing their strategies.
Short-term Focus
Pressure to deliver short-term results may lead organisations to prioritise immediate gains over long-term strategic objectives, resulting in a lack of sustainability and strategic alignment.
In a dynamic business environment, organisations must be agile and adaptable. Failing to adjust their strategies in response to changing market conditions or emerging opportunities can result in failing to execute and losing their competitive advantage. In addition, without robust performance measurement mechanisms and feedback loops, organisations may struggle to track progress, identify deviations from the strategic plan, and make necessary adjustments.
The unintended consequence that changes everything
intellego is a Learning and Performance Support (LPS) platform, designed to provide employees with access to a toolkit of bespoke resources to enable them to perform at their best. It includes learning, development activities, knowledgebase, business processes, discussions forums, key messaging, personal and organisation metrics all bespoke to the individual and their team.
We set out to support people in their role by bringing together everything they need into one platform making resources easier to access and providing better role clarity. However, we also discovered as an unintended consequence of bringing everything together into one platform that this now effectively provides organisations the levers they need to drive strategy execution in an agile way.
Intellego, is a powerful change management tool as employees can receive cut through communication on what is required of them during any type of change, access to metrics and dashboards to see tangible impacts in real time, given necessary micro-learning and experiences to uplift their capability, given access to organisation processes where they can self-serve or be guided through for additional support, have access to a knowledgebase of information for them to query when required and collaborate with peers and experts to ensure their interpretation of information is correct.
These levers can then be used for small micro-step change, more adaptive change or accelerated change to support major organisation transformations.
By enabling a change culture and improving agility, levers can be used to better execute strategies. Take for example, one of the key goals and objectives of organisation to increase revenue. Intellego features can be used to create a bespoke experience for each person so they have absolute clarity on what is required of them and provided the support tools to effectively execute their work activities.
