Engaging your people in strategy execution is the key to accelerating value. Recent studies2 indicate four drivers of engagement. People in the organisation need to:
- Understand the direction of the business, its strategy and its path for achieving that strategy
- Know how what they do contributes
- Believe they have the capability to execute their role
- Agree with the values the organisation represents and believe those values are acted on
These four drivers describe a complex interplay between the rational and the emotional. Bringing together what we know and how we behave is the primary challenge before leaders today. Our service offering acts across all four of these drivers.
