Integrated Strategic Alignment & Deployment (ISAD)


Back to List

Overview

ISAD is a SatiStar methodology for the top-down creation, integration and alignment of business and operational strategies, imperatives, objectives and commitments.

It culminates in implementation planning, development of key performance indicators, progress tracking mechanisms and the means for corrective actions when performance does not match the desired objectives.

Scope And Deliverables

SatiStar has a structured approach to creating senior leadership alignment and actions consistent with achieving desired business objectives.

SatiStar’s Policy Deployment methodology is designed for companies that want to improve their business efficiency and effectiveness through the strategic alignment of people, processes and technologies.

Policy Deployment starts from your high level company or business intent, builds the pathways for deployment and implementation, layer by layer throughout the entire organization. It creates the needed organizational linkages and addresses potential obstacles and roadblocks.

Policy Deployment also includes higher-level organizational alignment and addresses resourcing needs.

What We Will Do

SatiStar’s consultants will facilitate your leadership team through the Policy Deployment methodology:

1. Set Direction:

  • Values – “what do we stand for?”
  • Guiding Principles – “how will we behave?”
  • Vision – “where are we going?”
  • Mission – “what is our role in achieving the Vision?”
  • Key Themes – “what are our key strategic objectives, 3-5 years?”

2. Build Method:

  • Strategies & Programs – “what must get done in next 12-36 months?”
  • Objectives / Plans – “what are our specific 12 month commitments, actions & milestones?”
  • FMEA – “potential failure modes & countermeasures”
  • Check Plan – “how will we verify that we’re on target?”

3. Implement:

  • Communication Plan – “who will say what to whom?”
  • Deployment Plans – “how will we implement the plans?”
  • Structural Alignment – “how do we enroll the entire organization, who will be accountable & responsible”
  • Implement – “how will we ensure that the plans get implemented as designed?”

What We Need You To Do

  • Ensure that all of your leadership team is available for the Policy Deployment activity.
  • Arrange a suitable venue for the event (usually off-site, 3 days).
  • Require the entire leadership team to follow-through on their agreed-upon commitments in a timely manner.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

SatiStar's Experience Makes The Difference!

  • . . . worked extremely well with the departmental and site managers . . . goal oriented and met the objectives set within the quoted budget and ensured the results were attained for the Company.

  • The guys from SatiStar did more in one week than we were able to do in 6 months.

  • Achieving ISO registration was far less onerous than we thought, our employees really rallied to the cause. The registration effort really brought us closer together as a team, and SatiStar really came through for us when we needed them.

  • We started this process a year ago with Mickey helping us create a spaghetti map of our processes on the whiteboard, and then his team guided us through their streamlining methodology and got us to where we are today. Our processes now look nothing like the spaghetti map – and we’re much more efficient today

  • This projected cycle time reduction of over 80% annual cost savings amounting to over 3% of sales, one-time savings of roughly $10 million, and working capital reduction of roughly $30 million really have us excited!

  • An outstanding success with Motorola’s vendor audit! What made this an exceptional achievement is that it typically takes 4 to 5 attempts to pass this audit. SatiStar’s expertise made it easy to avoid all the extra attempts.
