Because the future seldom lines up with your org chart!

What is the Organizational Effectiveness (OE) Program?
OE is an operating system based, executive-level, educational program for achieving an organization’s potential.

How Can OE Help Your Organization?
In a rapidly changing world, organizations are in a continual state of transition.  Organizations need to change faster in order to win the future.  Organizations must regroup, reorganize, refocus, and reengage their work forces before they start down a costly road that might end in a dead end.  Organizational resilience is everything!

OE helps executives take a hard, critical look at their organizations in terms of strengths, capabilities, strategic performance-gaps, and opportunities, and then sets a course for aggressively seizing the future by developing capabilities before they need them. Consider OE an annual physical checkup for your organization, but with a much deeper dive analysis.

OE increases your odds for success by putting your organization on a permanent competitive war-footing; battle-ready and prepared to win.

Program Outline:

1. Executive Team Strategic-Thinking Questionnaire (34-questions):

• An open dialogue of critical inquiry, debate, challenge, and reflection, to better understand how each executive team member thinks (thought-process), sees the world, and the organization. What are the assumptions, paradigms, mindsets, insights, and opinions that drive each executive team member?

2. Brand Assessment:

• Identifying what your brand stands for in the marketplace; your positioning.
• Identifying the #1 thing you want customers to only associate with your brand.
• Identifying what your brand can do better than your competitors.

3. Strategy:

• The strategy process is a journey vs and annual event.
• Strategy is your blueprint for winning, by delivering your Brand Consumer Association. But you must first define winning.
• To win, your strategy must be based on differentiation not sameness.
• Measurements: 1) KPI’s, 2) Scoreboard, 3) Quarterly reviews for analysis and adjustments.
• Develop Bigger, Better, Bolder Strategies.

4. Business Model Assessment:

• Your Business Model is how you do what you do – your processes. And your processes (good or bad), define the customer buying experience.
• Your Business Model must drive your brand strategy execution, not impede it.
• Your Business Model must facilitate employee performance, not impede it.
• Your Business Model should be designed to recognize the need for and facilitate continuous change.
• Your Business Model, through Scenario Planning, will help you anticipate and plan for the future.

5. Alignment:

• Alignment between your: 1) Brand Standard, 2) Strategy, 3) Business Model, 4) People.
• Getting the right people in the boat and the wrong people off the boat, in their proper seats, knowing why they are in the boat, prepared to perform, knowing why they must perform, and understanding the destination.
• Alignment without Strategy is worthless, as is Strategy without Alignment.

6. Implementation Action Plan:

• Tying it all together: 1) Brand Standard, 2) Strategy, 3) Business Model,
  4) Alignment, and 5) Overall program.
• Knowledge without action is the same as no knowledge.

Comments:

• “Attending the Organizational Effectiveness session, facilitated by Terry McKenna, presented a forum for our organization’s leaders to, in earnest, evaluate who we are as an organization and how to further exemplify and communicate those beliefs. The tools that we now have will significantly contribute to our development and success as we move forward into the future.  We are already looking forward to the next opportunity to work with Terry.”

-Bryan Goforth, Executive VP – Home Service Oil Company

• “I was looking forward to this workshop and it exceeded all expectations. Terry provided our team with tools to define company strategy and objectives clearly, and a shared language to figure it all out. We will be using the Organizational Effectiveness workbook for years to come.”

 -Bryce Rawers – Executive VP Transportation & Logistics – Home Service Oil Company

• “Terry, I can’t thank you enough for the time you spent with our team. I received nothing but positive comments and thanks after our sessions.  Our leaders are all speaking the same language, are ready to win, and have a plan for moving forward.  We are excited for the future.  You gave us knowledge and tools to help us be successful.  Now, it’s time for us to step up and put it to good use!”

 -Zenna Steiger, VP of Internal Affairs – Home Service Oil Company

• “An eye opener for me was how we all read the same very simple questions, and each interpreted it differently. It gave me a whole new perspective on how others in our organization viewed things. This program really makes you think about where you really are as an organization, where you are going, and question “Where should we be going?” Terry Mckenna is a master at making you question everything. I’ve always felt that if I learned 1 thing that I held onto, then a program such as this was worth it. I took several keepers away from this one.”

 -Larry Dewees, VP Wholesale – Good Oil Company

• “I am very excited about what we brought away from this. It is going to give us a guiding principle to develop all of our actions around. Do our projects/decisions/actions go toward what we said our strategy is? It was great to get the whole group on the same page and pulling in the same direction.”

-Nikki Earp-Good, CFO, Next Gen Owner – Good Oil Company

• “This program was helpful to burn through the fog of standard day to day thinking. It was packed with thought provoking questions and gave inspiration, direction, and momentum towards a forward strategy.”

-Seth Keller, IT Director – Good Oil Company
