The Strategic People Manager

Uniting Strategy and Execution

Have you ever played “Connect the Dots”? In this classic game, children create pictures by following a sequence of numbered dots. If you don’t follow the order, the picture doesn’t come out as intended.

Strategy is similar, but with two major differences. First, there are no pre-existing dots—you must identify them during the strategy formulation. Second, once you’ve identified these dots, you must connect them correctly during strategy implementation. Without the right order, your strategic picture can become muddled.

Strategic People Managers excel at understanding where the business currently stands (the dots) and what innovative changes are needed to reach the desired goal (the vision). By assessing industry trends, leaders help management teams recognize their organizational position within the sector and set realistic, attainable objectives. They then guide the process of reaching these goals through precise and pragmatic strategy implementation, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Engaging Your Team in Strategic Change

Remember the timeless question, “Are we there yet?” Just like children on a road trip, team members need to know who, what, when, where, and why when embarking on a strategic change. Engagement is crucial for a successful strategy. When teams understand these five elements, success becomes more achievable. Without clarity, resistance and uncertainty among team members can grow.

Strategic People Managers play a pivotal role in identifying strategy formulation, driving its implementation, and engaging the workforce in a united effort toward success.
