THINKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE...
You've picked your projects and selected the most appropriate delivery process; this can still be derailed if you have the wrong people around you.
If you have the right people, they will deliver the strategy and will also be able to tune the purpose and improve the pathway
Two key elements to ensuring that you have the right people around you are Capacity and Capability.
-
Capacity is how you ensure that you have enough people to deliver your strategy.
-
Capability is how you ensure that the people are able to perform the tasks they are likely to be set.
There is an interaction between the two and you will often need to make compromises against your ideal team; we will talk through approaches to help you make the right decisions.
​
The people in your organization do not exist in isolation; we will talk about interactions and organizational structures and how these can influence communication and the execution of your teams' tasks.
​
Many of the people that influence your plans are outside of your organization. Some will be supportive and constructive, others may be ambivalent to your success and there may be some whose interests run counter to yours.
​
