Webinar for Society for Design Administration: Optimizing Performance with Leadership Infrastructure

Many companies capture their strategies in a strategic plan and develop a budget for where the money should go. They might even have some form of a business plan. But sometimes during the year things don’t get done; money is unspent or misspent; the urgent overtakes the important. Having a strategy and a budget isn’t enough—there is a gap.

Companies must bridge this gap with leadership infrastructure (an orchestrated blend of calendaring, meeting cadence, plans, visibility, KPIs and MBOs) that clarifies who does what by when, and keeps midsized companies organized and on track. The infrastructure helps us execute our strategies while following a prudent budget. It is amazing what teams can accomplish when priorities are clear—each week and each month.

Key takeaways:

• Crucial elements to leadership infrastructure
• Capturing action-ability and accountability-Action Plans and Objectives
• Measuring behaviors, not just results
• The plan review process- encouraging engagement and passion for progress
• Why the targets matter less than the striving to hit them really does
• Getting buy in from leaders
• The discipline of discipline
