Do you have a sound strategy to empower your organization to reach your goals, improve results, and become more competitive by aligning your plans, processes, decisions, people, actions, and results?
Having a systematic and effective way to go about achieving all this may seem overwhelming for sure. If the major focus on is the next board meeting, the next tax levy, the next teacher that is retiring and will need replaced, or the changes desired for next school year, then maybe a proven, comprehensive approach would help. After all, aligning plans, processes, decisions, people, actions and results may be easier said than done. And how do you really know if you’re being successful if you don’t see a spike (up or down) in your performance measures and they seem to just move along at a steady state; no real improvement and no real decline. Is your organization reaching it’s full potential? What about the future? What changes are on the horizon that you know will take shape and have an impact on your organization by the time your district has to go to the ballot box again for renewed funding? Will it be enough, and are you prepared to ensure it will be?
Where is your organization along the improvement continuum? Reacting to problems as they arrive with fortitude and precision. Or, implementing preventative measures learned from previous experience along the way to a proactive approach to operations. Better yet, has a systematic evaluation system been implemented to predict the most likely situations that are most susceptible to breakdowns; augmented by sensors that show indications of needed attention at the earliest possible signs of trouble. Or has your organization implemented systematic, repeatable methods of organizational assessment, analysis, and innovation as the primary approach to prevention of organizational stagnation or dis-function? Try this short quiz to see where you may be on assessing your organization.
