• Strategic Planning:
• Use the Situation - evaluate the current situation and how it came about. Target - define goals and/or objectives (sometimes called ideal state). Path / Proposal - map a possible route to the goals/objectives or Draw - what is the ideal image or the desired end state? See - what is today's situation? What is the gap from ideal and why? Think - what specific actions must be taken to close the gap between today's situation and the ideal state? Plan - what resources and steps are required to execute the ‘plan’? And by using ATM Approach (Antecedent Conditions, Target Strategies, Measure Progress and Impact). Once an understanding of the desired end state is defined, the ATM approach was used to Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to understand the threats, barriers, and challenges to achieving the end state. Not all antecedent conditions identified through RCA are within the direct and immediate control of the organization to change. Therefore, a review of organizational resources, both human and financial, are used to prioritize which antecedent conditions will be targeted. Strategies are then developed to target the prioritized antecedent conditions. Linking strategies to antecedent conditions ensures the organization does not engage in activity traps: feel good activities that will not lead to desired changes in the end state. Once a strategy is defined then performance measures and indicators are sought to track progress toward and impact on the desired end state.
