STRIDE = Results

The strength of STRIDE Strategic Operations lies in the combination of Strategy, Accountability and Action. Each an equally important piece to the achievement of results.

Strategy speaks to the initial act of defining and capturing the key components of an organization’s strategic direction. STRIDE Strategic Operations uses our own one-page strategic operating plan process to define the higher cause of the business, the company’s long-term success story, who the key audience for the business is and how the company with achieve this with a strategic push in each of the key areas of growth, operations, finance, people and risk.

Accountability is where the words of the strategy become the tactical plans of members of the organization. Strategies have an uncanny ability of never delivering on themselves without some outside help. Who is responsible for delivering on the strategy, and how the strategic pushes become reality is all about accountability. This simple step in the process drives productivity and ensures that results have a home!

The last step in the STRIDE Strategic Operations triangle is Action. Sports stars and people in movies have the ability to practice and rehearse before the big show or game. In business its always game day, so Action is about the steps that happen everyday to make results a reality. The key to action in a STRIDE Strategic Operations plan is to remember that no one has ever drifted to the top!

Companies and individuals who successfully implement the STRIDE philosophy can proudly display their SAA Triangle on company documents and communication. A symbol of strategic operations excellence this triangle will become a valued symbol.

The STRIDE Strategic Operating Plan process captures the necessary elements for a company to game plan their direction in one clear and concise page. Meeting the demand of business leaders everywhere, STRIDE delivers a simple planning process that incites accountability and action.

Unlike traditional strategic planning that delivers the ominous binder, that inevitably sits on the desks and shelves of those who contributed, the STRIDE One-Page Strategic Operating Plan is a living document that can easily be distributed and utilized in every meeting or with every project to ensure accountability and alignment towards what is needed for the company’s success.

In one simple page you will capture the foundational aspects of your company that will live forever, the reasons why you exist as a company. You will also define what success looks like in the future through the STRIDE Success Story process, defining, in a simple and exciting narrative, what you strive to achieve. Your key audience is identified and their point of view considered. All of these aspects lead to defining the strategic thrusts for the next year, the true focus of the organization in the key areas of Growth, Operations, Finance, People and Risk.

The STRIDE One-Page Strategic Operating Plan is the basis for the STRIDE Maps, which define, with no ambiguity, the tactical STRIDES necessary to make the year a success.
