Introduction

Welcome to Episode 73 of the enterprise excellence podcast. It is such a pleasure to have Mr Ron Moore back on the show with us today. Ron joined us last week in Episode 72, where he spoke about operational reliability and performance. We chatted about how leaders need to look at their business as a whole system rather than in silos. If you haven't already, I encourage you to listen to Episode 72 to get the background for this chat. Today we chat about engaging your team to align the whole organisation and jump on the bandwagon together. 

Let's get into the episode.

We are proudly sponsored by S A Partners, a world-leading business transformation consultancy.

Key Takeaways

1.     Align – As a leader working to create alignment of the organisation strategically, to a common purpose, vision and goals. Helping cross functional teams align systemically to ultimiately work together to improve towards that purpose and goal. 

2.     Leadership Leadership Leadership. We hear the importance of leadership through so many studies, books and experts. The importance comes as it is ultimately the leadership that does or does not apply enegery to creating strategic and cross functional alignment. It is leadership that will either take an approach that engages or disengages people as they deploy the strategy and changes required. Rons advice to start small and then support these small cross runctional teams to overcome challenges and recognise wins was great. Also Rons discussion around leadership behabiours such as the budget example was so important. How as a leader can you reflect on your behaviours and the systems you have in place within your organisations? How can you do this continuously to improve into the future. I recommend considering the retrospective approach out of Agile. Each day, week or month reflect back and write down what you should keep doing, stop doing and start doing moving forward to help your organisation achieve greater operational reliability and performance. Think heavily on the systems you have in place and what behaviours these are driving in your people and also your own behaviours as a leader.
