codify your strategy

In most organisations we have a certain way of doing things, called social norms. 

From switching off a camera during a team’s meeting, to standing around the proverbial water cooler sharing “news” these social norms influence how we get things done in our organisations.

Introducing an annual or bi-annual strategy – a strategy on a page – changes the way we do things. 

Strategy is one of the biggest change initiatives in an organisation. Codifying the way things get done in an organisation is key to every successful strategy.

Social network analysis is a tool that helps us understand how people work together to get things done.  Created by Andrew Parker and Robert Cross over twenty years ago SNA as a tool creates a powerful visual map about the hidden power of social networks.  The map helps leaders understand the relationships between people in large distributed groups and which specific clusters of people achieve the objectives of the business.

Codify how things get done in your business by mapping social relationships into your strategy and help improve how you achieve your strategic objectives.
