Baldrige Criteria
How do you develop your strategies and objectives?How are those strategies and objectives turned into actions?How are those strategies and objectives altered, if necessary?
Comprehensive Strategy FrameworkDevelop a Strategy Framework that is tailored to your organization’s culture. Ours has three main components:1. System-wide directional strategy is developed
outside our Business Unit structure to overcomesiloed thinking.
2. Strategy is operationalized through our Business Units focused on achieving Performance Excellence aligned with our 5-best commitments (5Bs).
3. This approach results in:System level goals, objectives, and measuresAligned Business Unit Action Plans and BudgetsIndividual goals and incentives
Continuous Process
Systematic “Rolling” 3-Year Long Range Strategic Planning Process (LSPP) that is integrated into our Annual Strategic Planning Process (ASPP).A 12-Step ASPP that includes real and relevant monthly and quarterly steps and deliverables, including a cycle of improvement for the process itself.Bi-weekly, senior leadership oversight and review at Strategic and Operational levels.
Effective Strategy DeploymentThe greatest challenge put forward by the Criteria and a site visit is the deployment test. To succeed is to make your strategy meaningful and relevant at all levels. AtlantiCare does the following:1. Boards & Physician Leadership
Strategic Planning CommitteeMid-Year Planning RetreatBU Annual Action Plan & Budget review/approvalAnnual Meeting
2. Middle Management (ALT)Bi-monthly, half-day meetings focused on the 5BsDeployment to departments
3. IndividualTown Hall Meeting (2 per year)Personal Strategy Map
Key LearningsPeter Drucker: “Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.”Our experience:
If Strategic Planning truly becomes your Road Map to alignment of effort;If you create a vibrant planning structure that organizes the work; andFind a way to engage your work force at all levels in moving towards your vision…
You will have truly “degenerated” into hard work.
