Ask yourself, "What kind of managers should I hire or promote?" Will they lead a future-ready Ideal Organization or will they just manage the status quo? 10 Reasons why The Ideal Organization is more efficient and future-ready than one focused on Operational Optimization: 1. Predicts customer's needs today and in the future 2. Analyzes processes for identifying constraints preventing the Ideal 3. Works on solving tomorrow's challenges, today 4. Improves areas that benefit the entire organization 5. Focuses on what we want in the organization, not just what we don’t want 6. Disruptive!

Roger Martin nails it. The customers of a plan are your employees. The customers of a strategy are your actual customers. Strategic planning is what leaders tell employees they need to do ostensibly to support a strategy, though, in reality, the plan inevitably explains how they want to use resources. They believe the plan will advance their strategy. However, the challenge is that only the plan is in their control; the market, which they don't control, decides if the strategy is good.

Focus on the process and the results will follow.

I think the best thing L&D can do is stop first thinking of content and instead think of goal setting/achievement. What is the goal we're trying to help achieve because, as I often find, the resulting intervention, while it may include content, very often requires much, much (did I say much?) more. Our focus should always remain on answering the question "what are we trying to improve?" And if the answer is human performance, I would keep digging and ask why? If we dig deep enough I'm hopeful it's in support of an organizational (business, division, department) goal. We're not just here to help people do better. We're here to help the business succeed. We just happen to do it through people development.
