AI, digitalisation, sustainability… As new strategic challenges arise, achieving strategic alignment remains critical for success.
Strategy development with outcome-focused OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), can drive strategic alignment across organisations, beyond traditional vertical and horizontal structures.
However, the common practice of cascading goals and following existing organisational structures slows down and causes frustration. There's a better way: “The Solar System” - a model that breaks down silos, strengthens autonomous teams, and fosters cross-department collaboration, all while driving strategic alignment.
This talk introduces” The Solar System”, featuring team structures like Product Teams, Shared-Outcome Teams, and Strategic-Theme Teams. This model enables dynamic reteaming and a flexible organisational design that adapts to evolving strategic needs of the business. Real-world examples will demonstrate how these models can be effectively applied in practice.
