Strategy Deployment: Aligning Strategy and Action – Supply Chain Leader’s Academy, module 3

Content / Learning objectives:

All our organizations and teams have goals and strategies, and it can be more complicated than it seems to achieve them and get everyone to work towards the same goals. This evening is dedicated to better understanding strategy deployment, the tools available, and what you can learn from others' experiences when abstract strategy needs to become tangible and actionable. We will delve into how performance boards and measurements are used in daily operations to steer towards your strategic goals. 

Questions that we hope to answer during the evening:

• How do you make your company's strategy tangible and concrete for each team? 
• What is an X-matrix, and how is it used to manage goals and key initiatives? – And what should it not be used for? 
• How do you use smart leading and lagging indicators to ensure that you are on the right track? – What should be measured when? 
• What is easy, and where should you be extra wary of pitfalls? 
• What experiences has Novonesis’ Supply Chain gained in ensuring meaningful and value-creating strategy deployment? 

The evening's speaker is Thomas Chr. Olsen, who is part of Novonesis’ global supply chain leadership group. Thomas has many years of experience in strategy development, implementation, and performance management. 

Refreshments: Drinks and sandwiches will be served.
