Policy Deployment Facilitation

Overview:

Our Policy Deployment Facilitation service focuses on aligning strategic objectives throughout all levels of an organization, ensuring that each business unit works cohesively toward common goals. While strategic planning is critical for profitability, too often it concludes with broad directives that lead to misalignment and, in some cases, internal conflicts. 

Drawing from Peter Drucker's "Management by Objectives" (MBO), this service builds on the concept of strategic negotiation to achieve organizational alignment. We incorporate modern approaches like Hoshin Kanri, which ensures a structured and collaborative approach to aligning strategies. Techniques such as catch-ball, A3 Thinking, and Toyota Kata are used to engage all parts of the organization, from leadership to frontline employees, ensuring everyone is aligned toward the same goals. 

Key Benefits: 

• Strategic Alignment: Ensure business units and teams are working in sync, avoiding cross-purpose efforts.
  
  
• Collaborative Engagement: Foster engagement through catch-ball and other participative techniques to improve buy-in and accountability.
   
• Effective Execution: Use A3 Thinking and Toyota Kata to facilitate effective execution and continuous improvement of strategic objectives.
  
  
• Top-to-Bottom Communication: Facilitate clear communication and alignment of goals across all levels of the organization.

Executive Coaching

Overview:

Executives face the broadest range of challenges within an organization, but it is their leadership skills that truly define their success. The relationships a leader fosters directly impact performance, making strong leadership behaviors critical. TMAC's Executive Coaching service is developed from years of interaction with industry leaders and observation of their actions. There are specific behaviors that leaders must exhibit to command respect and drive success. 

Your TMAC Coach is not positioned as a proven leader, but rather as an impartial, external guide who can help you navigate leadership challenges by modeling well-established best practices. It’s important to recognize that, much like top athletes who rely on coaches with outside perspectives, a coachable executive can reach greater levels of leadership effectiveness through structured guidance and objective insights. 

Key Benefits: 

• Leadership Skills: Develop behaviors that inspire respect and enhance leadership effectiveness.
  
  
• Objective Guidance: Receive insights from an impartial coach who provides a fresh, unbiased perspective.
  
  
• Proven Practices: Learn from best practices observed in successful leaders across industries.
  
  
• Personal Growth: Benefit from ongoing coaching to improve leadership capabilities and achieve higher performance levels.
