Strategy

Choosing direction and developing the organisational conditions that turn it into everyday practice.

The question we start from

What do we want to achieve – and how do we create the conditions for the organisation to move in that direction?

Reading depth

Four ways to read the same topic. Start wherever you like.

Strategy is about creating direction and making choices about what the organisation wants to achieve.

Direction gains strength when the organisation's culture, structure, ways of working, capabilities and resources support it – and when it becomes visible in everyday priorities, decisions and actions.

Three equal perspectives that shape one another.

One situation, four perspectives

The perspectives are equal. Together they make the situation clearer.

The organisation has set a strategic direction and wants it to take hold in everyday work.

Me: How does the direction shape my priorities and decisions?
We: How do we create shared understanding and coordinated action?
The organisation: How do culture, structure, systems, capabilities and resources support the direction?
The system: How do changes around us shape our opportunities and choices?

Working with the perspective

Here we show how strategic direction can be explored, tested and translated into the organisation's everyday practice.

Shared practice

Dragonfly

Strategic questions are carried by several people together. Dragonfly is Katalystra's shared workspace, where a group can hold direction, choices and everyday reality together over time.

Here different perspectives on the direction can be made visible, priorities can be weighed against each other, and experience from implementation can be gathered into the same picture.

The environment is described here and becomes available later on.

Individual practice

Instar

Strategy meets everyday work through the priorities and decisions of individual people. Instar is Katalystra's environment for that individual practice: attention, direction, choice and reflection on what actually happened.
