How to Successfully Execute Your Service Strategy 

Introduction

Every service strategy is a transformation strategy and aims to drive significant changes at a good pace.

So, the fact that 2/3 of the strategies fail in execution is a serious challenge we must fix.  

In essence, there are 3 causes: 

1. Most of our strategies are not strategies to win.
2. Common processes to develop a strategy do not build buy-in.
3. Traditional approaches for strategic planning and execution block agility and ownership.

In the Executive Service Roundtable of April, we will discuss 3 approaches to ensure an adequate execution of your service strategy, while at the same time improving employee engagement.

• Articulate a compelling “why”.
• Develop sub-strategies.
• Establish an Objectives-Key Results habit.

Kick-Off meeting

April 26 & 27

Key topics discussed:

• Articulate a compelling “why”: 
  • Formulate a winning aspiration.
  • Keep the core purpose alive.
• Develop sub-strategies:
  • Each department and team have their own winning strategy.
  • These strategies should be winning strategies.
  • We need a top-down and bottom-up process.
• Establish an Objectives-Key Results habit:
  • Each team defines bold and aspirational goals.
  • These are aligned with the overall goals.
  • Each goal has clear Key Results as the target .

Our presentations at the beginning of every Kick-Off meeting are accessible to everyone.

The peer discussions after these presentations are for (free) members only.

Ask-Us-Anything meeting

During this meeting, we will be discussing some of the questions that have been submitted by participants beforehand, like:

• How to get the buy-in of your senior executives or executive leadership team?
• How to cascade objectives and key-results to my teams?
• How to change the habits (culture) in my leadership team?

Submit your (additional) questions in an email or in the form when reserving your seat.

The objective of your questions can be:

• Getting answers to our questions.
• Getting feedback on our ideas or plans.
• Brainstorming best practices.

Only All Access Roundtable Members can join the extended Roundtable meetings, like the Ask-Us-Anything and Deep-Dive meetings.

Overview of meetings in each monthly Roundtable

Every month, we start a new Roundtable with another theme.

For each monthly Roundtable, we will host 4 online meetings of 1 hour each:

1. A Kick-Off meeting on the first Monday of the Month.
   We present best practices and practical frameworks, after which we have a peer discussion.
2. A first Ask-Us-Anything meeting on the second Monday of the month.
   We will discuss a few of the questions that were submitted by participants beforehand.
3. A Deep-Dive meeting on the third Monday of the month.
   We present a deep-dive on the 1-2 topics participants chose, after which we have a peer discussion.
4. A second Ask-Us-Anything meeting on the fourth Monday of the month.
   To close the topic, we will discuss a few of the questions that were submitted by participants beforehand.

We run each meeting in two sessions to allow participants from most time zones to participate.

The Kick-Off meetings are for all (free) members.

The other three meetings are only for All Access members.
