OGSM: Your Business Plan On One Page
The OGSM model offers a powerful method for summarizing your business plan on one page.
We help you make a solid plan with the right steps to reach your goals more efficiently.
A lack of structure and coherence can hamper your growth and chances of success. We help you take the right steps and achieve more results.
Together we sharpen your goals and turn them into a clear strategic plan with practical steps that are concrete, measurable, and focused on results
Your chances of success increase when you work with a clear Objective; your chances become even bigger when you translate this Objective into Goals and a concrete strategic plan guiding towards execution.
A clearly defined ambition and strategy help organizations achieve their goals and strengthen their competitive position. Together, we will first identify your current situation and identify opportunities. Next, we'll work with you and your team on a well-thought-out plan that allows you to focus your efforts throughout the year.
Strategy is simply about making clear, focused choices from endless possibilities.
Our approach starts with a thorough analysis of your company, the market and areas for improvement. Together with you and your team, we will highlight the most important aspects. Based on this, we develop an ambitious and achievable plan that really works. With our proven methods, we ensure that your organization is ready for the future.
For medium and large organizations, good alignment of your strategy to execution is crucial for the success of your company.
By properly aligning your strategy with the organization, you ensure that all employees are on the same page and jointly contribute to the common ambition. This promotes collaboration and increases efficiency and effectiveness within your teams.
Successful organizations grow through effective coherence.
At OGSM.com, we make sure that plans add up, structure and strategy fit together seamlessly, and everyone knows how to contribute to the shared goals.
Based on the ambition and strategy set for the organization, we translate these into department-specific plans that together add up to a consistent whole. These plans are directly tailored to the specific needs of each department. By analyzing current processes and identifying bottlenecks, we identify interdependencies. We then align this with the organizational structure and ensure clear ownership in the implementation.
Effective implementation is critical to the success of any strategy.
At OGSM.com, we understand that implementing new strategies and processes can be challenging. That's why we offer support to ensure that plans can be implemented in a structured way and that all projects run smoothly.
It's better to act on a good plan than to let a perfect plan go to waste.
Our approach to implementation support includes developing the rules of the game and a governance structure for monitoring and evaluation. Together with employees and key stakeholders, we provide smooth guidance to an effective way of working. This keeps everyone focused on priorities and ensures that the right things are done in the right way. By setting up regular review and feedback rounds, we initiate a continuous improvement process. As a result, the organization grows from a learner to an independently operating method, based on continuous improvement.
