Structured around the MOR Leaders Program framework, Organizational Impact uses a strategic thinking model involving the following steps:
- Scan the environment. Understand the forces and trends behind your project.
- Determine the critical implications. Clarify the implications of the trends.
- Develop the desired future state. Clearly state the vision of a successful outcome.
- Assess the current state. Use SWOT analysis to identify your starting point.
- Perform gap analysis. Identify the gap between your current and desired future state.
- Develop strategic goals. Define goals and strategies to advance the initiative and close the gap.
- Outline implementation. Identify the action steps for advancing strategy.
Organizational Impact assesses initiatives through three lenses to consider the strategic, political, and cultural issues the projects touch.
