Workshop: Democratizing Strategy & Performance Management

Why do so many well-crafted strategies fail to deliver results?

Most organizations invest significant time and resources developing strategy, yet somewhere between the boardroom and the frontline, the message becomes diluted, misunderstood, or disconnected from daily work.

The result? Teams work hard, but not always in alignment. Strategic priorities compete with operational demands. Employees struggle to see how their roles contribute to organisational success.

This webinar, led by Phil McInnes, explores a practical Organization Development approach to closing the gap between strategy and execution.

What You’ll Learn

This interactive webinar introduces practical frameworks and tools that help organizations create greater strategic clarity and alignment. Participants will explore:

1. A Simple Taxonomy of Organizational Roles: Learn an easy-to-understand framework for categorising roles by their primary function and contribution to strategy delivery.

2. A Clearer Way to Communicate Strategy: Discover a simplified strategic model that helps people at every level understand where the organization is heading, why strategic priorities matter and how their work contributes to success.

3. Measuring Strategic Understanding and Alignment: Explore a practical process for assessing how well strategy is understood across the organization and identifying areas where alignment can be strengthened.

4. Real-World Applications and Case Studies: Review examples from organizations that have assessed and improved strategic understanding and alignment, and examine the outcomes achieved.

5. Systemised Performance Management: See a live demonstration of a performance management system designed to be owned and managed by the people who use it, creating accountability, transparency, and continuous alignment with strategic objectives.

6. Facilitated Group Discussion: Engage with fellow OD practitioners and leaders to discuss challenges, insights, and practical applications in your own organizational context.

• Identify common barriers to strategic alignment
