Individual Strategic Management

Countless articles have been written about Strategic Management. The vast majority of these focus only on grand scale corporate strategy. While corporate strategic management typically covers many years and often focus on a major strategic planning event each year; our focus is different. At CMOE, we don't focus on the corporate strategic management, we focus on the "individual" strategic management. We contend that everyone in the organization should have a strategic vision for his or her work.

A person's strategic vision has two components. The first component should be focused on how one can support the future strategic direction of the organization (the grand strategy). Everyone needs to be aligned and pulling in the same direction. Secondly, everyone must have a personal strategic agenda for his or her work. In other words, everyone must see themselves as a business unit with a population of one. This individual strategy is unique for each contributor and focuses on how they can add value and offer distinctive service to the organization in the future.

CMOE workshops build success starting with the individual

Our workshop on personal strategic management teaches individuals how to think and operate in a strategic way. The workshop objectives include:

Clarifying what strategic management means
Explaining why individuals need to develop strategic thinking skills
Teaching the 7 skills of person strategic management
Mapping out a personal strategic initiative that will add value and drive results
Generating interest in and commitment to living and working more strategically

The personal Strategic Management Workshop is a highly interactive workshop. Participants will be exposed to our new hardbound book: "Ahead of the Curve" by Dr. Steven J. Stowell and Stephanie Mead. Workshop participants will measure their strategic thinking skills with the AST survey and receive feedback on areas or strength and areas needing skill development.

People who attend the CMOE personal strategic management programs will be:

Prepared to face uncertainty better
Able to bring some structure of their future and take better control of their future
Ready to manage change and shifts in their work environment
Adapt to change before they have to (forced to)
