Strategic capability development
In a truly globalised world characterised by business volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (the VUCA world), it is of most importance for organisations to identify and capitalise on unique competitive advantages to build sustained value for the present and future.
This is possible when organisations have clarity about their strategic direction and when there is alignment between their company vision, their core competencies, organisational culture, and leadership behaviours.
At RD Perspectives, we partner with organisations to enhance their strategic capabilities through the following interventions:
Strategic Thinking Workshops
Relevant for organisations that aim at strengthening the long-term business thinking skills among their leaders. This programme is design to develop a strategic mindset supported by evidence-based business tools, including:
Strategic Thinking Vs Strategic Planning
The Strategic Thinking Mindset
Strategic Thinking Models & Tools
Data-driven Strategic Thinking
This workshop accommodates maximum 20 participants per session and is fully customised to the needs of the organisation aligned to the industry and seniority of the leaders participating.
Strategic Planning Workshops
Bringing together several stakeholders in the organisation to formulate their company vision, mission, strategic pillars, strategic objectives and key results.
Our Strategic Planning Workshops are fully tailored to reflect the needs of your organisation by accounting on factors associated to the organisation’s industry as well as maturity of the organisation.
This programme covers
Strategic Enquiry Phase
An exploratory process involving multiple stakeholders and data points to understand what is happening now and what are the long-term aspirations of the organisation – The Diagnostic Part.
Intervention Outline & Design
A proposal presenting the Workshop Outline, organised in sections and aligned to the Strategic Planning Framework – The Validation Part.
Workshop Design
Formulating the best approach in preparation for the facilitation, we can facilitate in a Workshop Setting or a Retreat Setting.
Graphic Facilitation
We use graphics – leveraging on the Theory of Mind – to simplify complexity, leverage visual stimuli, and ensure the workshop is engaging as well as effective.
Strategic Action Plan
A Strategic Plan Deck or Playbook – depending on the client’s preference – consolidating the action plan agreed during the workshop and the next steps in the journey – The Transfer Component.
Strategic Capability Framework Development
A consultative approach to identifying the critical competencies that organisations need to achieve their strategic objectives. A well-defined capability framework outlines the behaviours that leaders should embrace to align to the organisation's strategic direction at different levels of leadership, from the most senior to the most junior levels.
When we partner with your organisation to design your strategic capability framework, we:
Consult with multiple internal stakeholders to identify and distill patterns that conceptualise what the organisation’s future success may look like.
Conduct several enquiry sessions including focus groups and semi-structured interviews to validate patterns about the strategic focus of the organisation and the behaviours that successfully contribute to its intended strategy.
Codify data and use thematic analysis to identify emerging themes that inform the competencies
Define all the competencies including the exact behaviours at different levels of leadership.
Design a leadership development workshop to transfer the newly designed Capability Framework to critical stakeholders .
Let us help you build and enhance your organisation’s core competencies and resources to achieve long-term goals and maintain a competitive edge. Identifying key areas of strength, and investing in them to support sustainable growth. We will begin by establishing processes to assess and adapt to external changes, aligning organisational capabilities with strategic objectives, and fostering a culture of learning and innovation.
