Strategy Execution System: From A To Z
“The Harvard Experience”

Using a real-life case study example from the Canadian utility, Hydro One, Dr Kaplan will lead an interactive session on establishing and running a comprehensive enterprise risk management system. The session will emphasise the mechanisms for identifying and quantifying the principal risks to an organisation’s strategy, especially how to develop and transmit risk information from the front lines to the boardroom, and how to allocate resources to mitigate the most likely and consequential risks
.

Integrating Risk Management To The Strategy Execution System

Risk management has become essential for successful and sustainable strategy execution. Many organisations, however, despite having a designated risk management officer and even a risk management department, have suffered massive losses from their failure to understand and manage the risks inherent in their strategies. Dr Kaplan will share insights on how Hall of Fame organisations, such as Infosys and VW do Brasil use their strategy maps to identify the key risks in the strategy. From this early identification, they develop Key Risk Indicator scorecards to give them advance warning of imminent risk events and also develop portfolios of risk mitigation initiatives that reduce the likelihood and consequences from risk events. The session will conclude with the role for war-gaming and scenario analysis to envision and mitigate the non-controllable risks that can arise from the organisation’s volatile external environment.

Aligning Employees To The Strategy

Ultimately, strategy is executed by employees, not the senior leadership team. But employees cannot help implement a strategy that they are unaware of, do not understand, or have little motivation to execute. This session covers the important processes needed to communicate strategy, motivate employees, and align the development of employees’ capabilities and competencies to strategic objectives.

Dr David Norton
11:30

Continually Improving The Strategy

Today, strategies are implemented in volatile and highlycompetitive environments. Strategy is a hypothesis on how to satisfy shareholder/stakeholder objectives. The strategy execution system must not only define these hypotheses, but also continually monitor the external and internal environments so that managers can guide, test, and adapt the strategy to changing conditions. The BSC management system achieves this objective at several levels including conducting operational and strategy review meetings as well as meetings that test and adapt the strategy, leading to new objectives and BSC metrics that keep the strategy relevant to changing market and business conditions. Dr Kaplan will demonstrate the role for business analytics to inform the design of operational KPI dashboards. He will also summarise his current collaboration with Professor Michael Porter on the tremendous opportunities to improve the value and cost of health care delivery through accurate measurement of outcomes and costs.

BSC Implementation: Leading Change And The Role For The CEO

Strategy requires that companies break away from doing business-as-usual so they can adopt a new way of competing and doing business. Yet most change management programme fail. In this session, Dr Kaplan will highlight the vitally important role for the CEO to lead and manage the change process. He will start with the key role – embedded in leadership gurus John Kotter and Michael Beer’s pioneering work – to unfreeze the organisation so that executives and employees alike accept the urgent need for change. He will continue by showing how Kotter’s Leading Change programme can be leveraged and accelerated by integrating with the Kaplan-Norton strategy execution system. The session will include examples from the successful CEOs of enterprises in the Palladium Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame for Strategy Execution®.

BSC Implementation And The Office Of Strategy Management

The new BSC strategy management system does not manage itself. This session will discuss how a new competency and a new organisation, the Office of Strategy Management, has emerged to play this role. Dr Norton will explain the multi-year agenda for the OSM as it migrates the Balanced Scorecard from an initial feasibility project into a sustainable strategy execution system that delivers transformational improvements in performance.

The stages include:

  1. Unfreeze the organisation (continuing the discussion in Dr Kaplan’s previous session)
  2. Focus and align the organisation to strategic priorities, and
  3. Sustain the new culture of strategy execution and accountability for delivering performance
