4. “Even the best strategy can fail if a corporation
doesn’t have a cadre of leaders with the right
capabilities at the right levels of the
organization.”
- Tsun-yan Hsieh and Sara Yik, Leadership as the Starting Point
5. “A good leader can make a success of a weak
business plan, but a poor leader can ruin even
the best plan.”

8. Generative Approach to Strategic Planning
Currently, this is the most advanced approach to
strategic planning. It involves drafting of
workable strategic plan and evolving it through
Pilot Modelling, All-Inclusive Reflective Tests,
Due Diligence, Review-Improve-Align,
Systematic Evaluation and Continuous Coursing.
10. “There is a strong emphasis in this approach, as the name
implies, on generativity—producing something, learning by
doing, trying it out, ‘letting it all hang out’. Risk-taking and pilot-
testing reside at the heart of this approach… It makes sense in a
highly turbulent environment, for one must act quickly and learn
quickly to keep up with the shifting conditions. It is not enough
to create a learning organization, one must create a ‘fast-
learning’ organization—which is even more challenging in terms
of cognitive flexibility and willingness to learn from mistakes (as
well as successes).”
- Dr William Bergquist, Generative Planning

13. Enabling Culture
This is usually a resolution derived from
Strategic Plan by ascertaining culture-fit through
operability, fluidity and effectuality.
15. Corporate Culture
“Corporate culture is a system of shared values,
assumptions, beliefs, and norms that unite the
members of an organization.”
- Kathryn Bartol, Management
16. Strategic Business Capability
Model
This refers to a well-articulated assessment of
capacity, material and expertise required for
achievement of stated strategic plan; showing
clear-cut requirements at various development
milestones.
17. Business Process Model
This shows all the processes required for driving
the strategic plan in an organization. It actually
represents how contributory actions shall be put
together in order to produce value and thereby
attain goals.
18. Strategic Manning Template
This shows various organizational
growth/operational levels and the resulting staff
requirements at each level. It throws light on
required ‘staff mix’ in terms of type,
competencies, quantity, distribution and
evolutionary connectivity. It functions as
standardized projected staff schedule. This is
the backbone of Staffing Excellence.
19. Key Tools for Development of
Strategic Manning Template
• Workload Analysis
• Workforce Modelling
• Benchmarking
• Variability Analysis
• Profitability Analysis
• Business Capability Analysis
• Strategic Concatenation Analysis
20. From Strategic Manning Template to
Business Results
Strategic Manning Template facilitates
identification of required leaders for
achievement of business goals. This in turn
enables ascertainment and clarification of
ensuing gap in the leadership pipeline and the
best leadership development strategy for filling-
fit, so as to ensure favourable business results in
line with strategic intent.
