|
| Strategy and organization must mesh. |
|
| Artemis' approach is founded on the belief that companies are more likely to achieve breakthrough advances if they recognize — and address — the inherent interdependency of strategy and organization. |
|
| We have created a systematic and integrated approach to strategy and organization development. |
|
 |
|
Baseline Diagnostic :
At the heart of the Artemis approach are proprietary online diagnostic tools that accelerate the strategy and organization discovery processes, jumpstart the discussion of strategic options, and pinpoint organizational areas where huge strides are possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
|
These customized tools are used at the start of each engagement. |
|
|
• |
|
The baseline strategy diagnostic tools engage key executives in an assessment of current strategy, while surfacing new ideas and potential strategy options. |
|
|
• |
|
The baseline organization diagnostic tools identify any mission-critical enterprise capabilities gaps in strategy development, organization, functional competence and/or culture. |
|
|
• |
|
Corroborated by in-person interviews, the diagnostic results are revisited throughout an engagement, as they provide the starting point for further investigation of the impediments to optimal growth and performance, whether they are strategic, organizational or process-focused. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Strategy Development: Artemis helps you develop strategies that will profitably generate sustainable value for your customers. |
|
| We bring an "outside-in," market-value driven perspective — carefully woven together with an understanding of current and achievable "inside" capabilities. |
|
|
|
| We help you: |
|
| • |
Identify the opportunity to deliver superior value to customers, drawing on a set of customer-focused exploratory protocols, including Dynamics Discoverysm motivational research. |
|
| • |
Understand the current and potential ability of your organization to deliver that value, leveraging the insights provided by our baseline organization diagnostic tool. |
|
| • |
Determine how to create, communicate, and deliver value, while generating superior and sustained returns to shareholders and other key stakeholders. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fact-based and collaborative. Our approach to strategy — whether business, marketing or product strategy — blends the best aspects of highly fact-based, analytically rigorous strategy development with more interactive, collaborative methodologies. |
|
|
We help you and your senior team develop a clear, accurate, and shared picture of your business situation, so you are better prepared to set realistic goals and make smart decisions to maximize growth, profitability and market impact. |
|
|
We partner with you, teaming with lead executives to drive the strategy process. We leverage information and expertise from within your organization wherever appropriate. We use tightly structured processes to guide your team as you evaluate and discuss critical information; surface implications and options; and formulate your strategic direction and priorities. |
|
|
Our collaborative approach leaves you with stronger development processes, long after we've disappeared. |
|
|
From an experienced perspective. Having been managers ourselves, we tackle the need for extensive performance improvement and change while also acknowledging the value of industry research and expertise of veteran teams. As a result, we work equally well in environments where teams are friendly to or skeptical of outside consultants. |

Organizational Alignment:
In the context of a company's strategy, data from the baseline diagnostic link back become a springboard for discussion with management to identify key impediments to implementation and cultural change:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Organizational capabilities |
|
• |
|
Through a structured process that uses the results of the baseline organizational diagnostic, you will be able to determine which of the organizational gaps are mission critical; chart a course to address these gaps; and assign responsibility, resources and milestones for each. |
|
|
• |
|
We will help you develop specific action plans, individual performance indicators and an "executive dashboard" to track progress against the organizational goals, leadership development plans and process development programs that have been set. |
|
|
• |
|
Interactive management and communication tools used throughout the organizational alignment process facilitate analysis and decision-making, action planning and progress measurement. |
|
|
Leadership assessment: Companies facing rapid change often find that the key leadership team lacks critical competencies. |
|
|
• |
|
We help you identify the leadership competencies that are necessary to close the organizational capabilities gaps and drive strategy. |
|
|
• |
|
We also assess your leadership team and other key talent against these competencies. |
|
|
• |
|
Finally, we assist you in developing leadership bench strength to support your strategic objectives. |
|
|
Process alignment: Shifts in strategic direction or organizational capabilities almost always require re-evaluation of the supporting structure, systems and staffing. Without this, old processes can clash with new strategies, reducing productivity and demoralizing workers. |
|
|
• |
|
We review process changes required by the new strategy, consider the organizational implications and help you create a comprehensive implementation plan. |
|
|
• |
|
By carefully aligning business unit, department, and individual goals and action plans throughout the company, change is "operationalized," or embedded into the daily operation of the company. Individual and group objectives are fully aligned with corporate goals, all groups participate in the strategic vision and milestones are concrete. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Implementation Support:
The final, and perhaps the toughest, hurdle is translating plans into action. To ensure that you maximize your consulting investment, we:
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
|
Provide hands-on assistance with the initial stage of implementation, overseeing your transition from recommendations to implementation. |
|
|
• |
|
Set the pace and customize the process of execution, to ensure that it is well-suited to your unique organizational culture. |
