Strategy Delivery: Rigour v. Agility - Do We Need Both?

The BIG CIC Conference is all about introducing Business Integrated Governance to people, and quickly linking attendees to examples of where integrated governance has been leveraged before, and where the BIG BOK has been used too. It will provide a practical session on helping protagonists to build a vision, cased and stakeholder base - enabling development of a business case to do something!

This session is run with the Strategy community – represented by David Booth and David Worsley - in collaboration with the International Association for Strategy Professionals (UK)

Strategy Delivery: Rigour vs. Agility — Do We Need Both?

• “Strategy” – traditional approach: stereotypes, and a focus on strategic analysis and strategy formulation – the big gap to successful strategy delivery
• How organisational strategy is changing: the shift to a more ongoing, dynamic approach, and the importance of capabilities
• IASP and the IASP BOK (key elements): a structured knowledge framework for strategy professionals to guide comprehensive strategy lifecycle approach
• How BIG can add to this: developing organisational information and governance systems to create dynamic flows and mechanisms across strategy and delivery
• BOKs as a framework for practice – a spur to developing the organisation (not an instruction manual): the journey starts with a conversation
• Rail Industry real-life example to illustrate some of this in practice and help stimulate the ensuing discussion.

The session will include plenty of opportunity for question and debate - and we will take questions away and follow up.

Outcomes

By the end of the session, participants will understand the bodies of knowledge available for strategy and integrated governance, and recognise how BIG addresses strategy to delivery pains common to many organisations. No good having a great strategy if you can't balance strategy delivery with performance.
