Advancing strategy literacy for organizational excellence
The framework
Our Strategy Competency Framework (SCF) develops strategy literacy and integrates strategy capabilities into core talent management, ensuring that every employee, from entry-level to top management, contributes to the company's strategic objectives and long-term success.
Many competency frameworks focus on leadership competencies. Our Strategy Competency Framework, however, laser-focuses on strategy. You don't have to replace your leadership competencies; you can enrich them with our framework and develop your whole organization's strategy literacy.
Embedding strategic competencies across all levels empowers your organization to navigate complexity, drive innovation, and maintain a competitive edge. Our Strategy Competency Framework fosters a culture of continuous improvement and resilience, ensuring your organizational health drives STRATEGIC performance, not just performance.
The problem
"No one knows your strategy - not even your top leaders!"
MIT Sloan research (Sull, Sull, Yoder, 2018) found that only 28% of executives and managers responsible for strategy execution could name three of their company's strategic priorities. This mirrors our experience: leaders often struggle to clearly articulate strategy or values.
Strategy alignment and literacy—employees' ability to understand, connect, and express strategy—are crucial. Senior leaders often overestimate alignment, which declines further down the organization, causing issues. Strategy isn't just for executives; building strategic competencies should start early in all employees' careers.
The solution
We recognize that achieving sustainable success demands more than just strategic planning—it requires a deeply ingrained culture of strategic thinking.
