A strategy articulates what makes your organisation unique and different and provides value. It informs what areas to invest your time and money in, the organisation’s structure, resource requirements and how you respond to market and stakeholder needs. 

Operationalising strategy is where the rubber hits the road. 

In this episode, we take you through exactly how to do that: 

  • The strategic pyramid: how you can build your own organisation strategy. 

  • How to operationalise your strategy to ensure its successfully implemented. 

  • Effective goal setting using Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). 

  • Breakdown of how effective OKRs work. 

  • We hear from Sandy Morrow (Koala) again on how implementing OKRs early on, led to role clarity, accountability and increased productivity. 

  • We also hear from Jimmy Stewart (JVAT) on how they rolled OKRs out at an organisational level, and maintained their flat structure in the process.
