O truque do mapa da estratégia (parte I)

"Those are some of the key insights from a current Booz & Company survey of more than 3,500 global leaders, including 550 CEOs and 325 other C-suite executives.
.
Among the data points that illuminate business leaders’ frustrations:

• A majority of leaders (64 percent) said the biggest frustration for managers is having too many conflicting priorities. (Moi ici: Será um sintoma de prioridades pouco claras? Ter uma estratégia clara implica escolher o que fazer e o que não fazer... os que não se definem são os 'morons' do meio-termo, stuck-in-the-middle (ver figura abaixo... recordar van den Steen e "the fundamental effect of a strategy: create alignment across decisions, but at the cost of compromising some decisions on a standalone basis")

• Most executives (54 percent) said they do not believe that their company’s strategy will lead to success. (Moi ici: Quer dizer que pactuam com a erosão e apodrecimento da situação competitiva da sua empresa?)

• Most (53 percent) could not say their strategy is understood by employees and customers. (Moi ici: É sempre possível dizer que a culpa é da crise)
• Only a third (33 percent) said they feel the company’s core capabilities fully support the company’s strategy. (Moi ici: Se não há alinhamento entre o ADN, a tradição, as competências de uma empresa e a estratégia... temos o caldo entornado. A empresa vai competir num terreno dominado com vantagem por outros)
• Only 21 percent could say all of their businesses leverage their core capabilities.
• Just 20 percent said they feel their company has a “right to win” in all the markets it competes in.

More than half of the respondents said they were facing significant strategic challenges. 56 percent said their company has not allocated resources in a way that really supports the strategy, and 55 percent reported difficulties in ensuring that day-to-day decisions are in line with strategy." (Moi ici: Aqui é que entra o truque do mapa da estratégia... qual é o nosso ADN? Onde podemos fazer a diferença? Existe massa crítica de clientes-alvo? Quem são os clientes-alvo? O que procuram e valorizam? Que mosaico de actividades devemos desenvolver para os conquistar, satisfazer e fidelizar? Que recursos e infraestruturas suportaram essas actividades estratégicas? E, assim, tudo fica alinhado!!!)
