From Purpose to Pillars of Success
Kendo revolutionises the way organisations align their strategy by defining a clear Purpose, supporting Values, and laying out Strategic Pillars that are the foundation for all Business Plan Objectives (BPOs). With a robust framework in place, Kendo enables organisations to develop and execute their strategies effectively, ensuring that everyone is moving in the same direction and working towards a common goal.
Define Organisational Purpose and Values
The process begins by clearly defining the purpose and values of the organisation, creating a foundation that guides decision-making and actions.
Set Strategic Pillars
Strategic pillars are established to outline the boundaries for business objectives and activities. These pillars serve as the battle grounds where the organisation aims to gain a competitive advantage.
From Strategy to Operations
Navigating the complex world of organisational strategy and performance can feel like running a race without a starting line, a finish line, or even a clear direction. Without strategic alignment, organisations struggle to achieve their goals and unlock their full potential.
Develop Business Plan Objectives
Based on the strategic pillars, the organisation develops its business plan objectives, which are the first steps toward achieving the overall strategy. These objectives are owned by the CEO, who is responsible for delivering them.
Define Detailed Plans and Responsibilities
Business plan objectives are broken down into more detailed plans, ensuring clarity on how they will be executed. Roles and responsibilities are defined for each individual, aligning them with their respective accountabilities.
Create Strategic Alignment
The objectives and plans are linked to demonstrate how each specific objective contributes to a higher objective, fostering a sense of meaning and alignment in the work. This process ensures that everyone understands their role in achieving the organization’s strategy.
