"Strategic planning should be straightforward and powerful. A good plan will make sure that you find the best possible pathway to your best possible future" says Neville Lake. "I have created these intensely practical resource kits to guide you through either the strategic retreat as a stand alone event, or through the whole planning process. I am sure that you will be able to put together a successful plan and/or retreat using these kits."
The short kits focus on a single topic, and are designed to provide more information. They provide comprehensive, indepth, practical approaches to improving a specific aspect of your organisation or surfacing key information. All of these have accompanying articles, which are available for free.

A Mountain of Measures

A well constructed measures framework performs four critical functions in any organisation (a) it shows what is important (b) it describes the activities in the business as a hierarchy so that it is clear which activities affect specific outcomes, (c) it provides a way to measure both inputs and outputs (d) it provides the information required to improve business performance.
The presentation and three workbooks help you to develop a comprehensive and practical measurement framework for your organisation.

The three workbooks and presentation help you to identify and release value in your organisation.

How to Get 20% More Out of Your Business

Most organisations achieve no more than 80% of what is possible. Many achieve significantly less. The sub-optimisation framework is a powerful tool that shows you where this lost opportunity is hiding in your business and what you need to do to remedy the situation.
The workbook shows you how to calculate sub-optimisation for any and every part of your organisation. Using a straightforward model you can quantify the current situation, the optimised situation, the financial size of the gap and the types of actions/projects that are necessary to get closer to the optimised state.
