Challenge & Mission
CHALLENGE
The dedicated leaders who run American organizations that provide public services have faced a flood of significant challenges in recent years, including:
- volatility in funding sources & personnel (especially Federal)
- less consensus and increased partisan conflict in government
- new ways of computing unit costs (e.g. differences across health specialties)
- new technologies, regulations and notions of workplace (attenuated by the pandemic)
- heightened public and media scrutiny (e.g. salience of IRS Form 990’s)
- fluctuation and cycling in citizen and consumer preferences
This rigorous environment makes organizational leadership ever more important, and it creates high expectations for leaders to deliver measurable impact.
It is no longer about just working harder; leaders must work smarter.
- To be sure, leaders act on key challenges and opportunities, and they hire the best talent they can.
- Leaders also try to periodically pull up from the day-to-day grind to plan for the near-term and ponder the future.
MISSION
We can help!
At Tailored Success Strategies, we assist leaders in carrying out strategic planning and performance measurement processes to make their leadership and their organizations more impactful.
Importantly, each leader directs a unique organization.
We avoid a one-size-fits-all strategic planning consulting approach. We engage leaders in the specific context and culture of their organization, and we encourage leaders to leverage that uniqueness to find greater impact and move the needle.
We have deep experience in strategic planning and are happy to assist leaders as they consider such a process.
Leaders vary in their past efforts undertaken. They may have a tradition of annual retreats with accompanying action plans; they may occasionally do strategic planning with discussions quickly forgotten in the daily hustle and bustle; or they may be engaging in such a process for the first time.
Leaders may also differ in their preferences for which level of the organization is analyzed and who participates in the strategic planning process. We can help you sort this out and arrive at an impactful process that makes sense for you and your organization.
