The occasion Test and make strategy concrete

A draft strategy or plan exists, but it is not yet clear what is feasible and what is missing.

What you achieve
  • Hear practical objections early
  • Sharpen plans
  • Understand what employees recognise

The approach 3 steps

From question to a next step people stand behind

We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.

  1. Step 1

    Present the draft

    ExampleThree core choices from the draft plan, each explained in two sentences.

  2. Step 2

    Gather experiences and reactions

    Example“What do you need to make this choice work in your team?”

  3. Step 3

    Make the plan more concrete with the insights

    ExampleThe objections with broad support become a concrete point of attention in the plan for each choice.

Questions about test and make strategy concrete

Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.

Is this suitable when the decision is almost final?

Yes, as long as there is still room to sharpen the implementation, communication or preconditions.

What if participants reject the plan?

Then you know before the decision stalls. The outcome also shows which adjustment does have support.

What is the difference with a survey about the plan?

A survey measures agreement. In the dialogue people also respond to each other's objections and proposals, so you see which adjustment is broadly supported and why.
