Goals, Strategies, and Tactics 2017

It’s that time of year where we all tend to recount the events of last year and think through our plans for next year. We all hope that the upcoming year will be even better than the last.

We sometimes times here of a quote from Albert Einstein saying that “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” and Henry Ford says If you always do what you’ve always done you’ll always get what you’ve always got”. Both of these phrases are somewhat telling of the end result if you don’t make positive improvements for the New Year.

Goals are the desired result that you envision to achieve within a set timeframe.
Strategies are your plan of action to achieve your goal
Tactics are the actions enforced under your strategy

What do you plan to do differently this year? What type of change will you embrace? Do you have a plan yet?

These are some helpful tips:
Write down your goals and become committed to them
Develop some solutions and ideas for things you want to change. This is important, right down the things you want to change, and list possible solutions.
Develop your plan for continual motivation
Take consistent action
Review and modify your goals at least monthly and reward yourself in some form for meeting your goals.

Here’s to hoping for the most quality year yet! Thank you for improving.

What have you thought about recently in the context of Strategy Deployment? Is your strategy something you revisit frequently or is it something you review once or twice a year?

Strategy Deployment relies on consistent action in between planning periods and your strategy requires a commitment to continuous improvement. There are a number of tools you can use as you transform your organization into the optimal state you desire.

Here are some of the best tools to propel your strategy.

The Value Stream Analysis is a review of all of the processes that help you develop your product or service.

Kaizen and rapid process improvement activities help you to get results fast by discovering a problem, making a fast review of it and determining some improvements you can trial.

An A3 is a structured problem solving approach to improve a process in one stop shopping.

Continuous daily improvements or daily start planning gets each day off to a start with your overall strategy in mind before the day becomes filled with non strategic activities.

Using the four of these together you can determine which processes need improvement (Value Stream Analysis), hold a rapid improvement event (Kaizen), develop an 11 x 17 roadmap to improve it (A3), and review your plan to meet your goals daily (Continuous daily improvements).

Keeping focus on your strategy is the best way to meet your goals.
