Creating strategic alignment

“When Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) completed its first comprehensive business plan in 2004, we knew we needed a strategy to roll the plan out to all CEO staff.  Talent Strategy Partners worked with CEO’s senior management team to create a communication and training plan that was fully aligned with our business plan goals.  Our partnership with TSP has been crucial to our ability to build knowledge, buy-in, and enthusiasm for the plan among our front-line workers and mid-level managers.  This has been a key to the plan’s success and we’re ahead of our goals.”

  • At a family-owned engineering company, TSP conducted a comprehensive executive compensation audit. In addition to helping the organization align its executive salaries with the market, we facilitated strategic goal setting and designed a management incentive program — based on a customized balanced scorecard — to reinforce corporate goals.
  • TSP led an international shipping company CEO and a subset of the Executive Committee in a session to determine and articulate corporate strategy (vision, goals, values, metrics).
  • For an international financial services firm, TSP designed and facilitated a process to articulate corporate values, using a team of high-potential, mid-level managers as a development experience.
  • At a major university, we involved the cabinet in developing university-wide goals that became the foundation for a new performance management program.
  • For a healthcare organization, TSP facilitated a design team to create a performance management program that incorporated the organization’s core values as competencies.
  • At an engineering company, TSP facilitated strategic goal setting and designed a management incentive program — based on a customized balance scorecard — to reinforce corporate goals.
  • For a major home improvement retailer, TSP led the HR leaders in strategic planning and setting fiscal year priorities to support the business strategy.
  • We brought together a new corporate employee relations group and their key internal customers — field HR directors — at a major home improvement retailer. With our help, they overcame skepticism and concerns about the new structure and jointly developed operating procedures to make it work.
