‛Twas the night before Christmas Eve 2016

Happy listening while you read, click to play!

‛Twas the night before Christmas Eve
And sure, enough folks were all a stir.
In the land of Magate Wildhorse, Santa Claus had checked the list not twice but thrice and sure enough a deck of card was to be delivered by Christmas Eve.
For when we asked of our supporters “Who do you know that should receive a gift of the Magate Wildhorse Planning experience?”

One passionate supporter sent an entrepreneur our way.
He hung his stockings early for his list had grown to five.

  1. An organizational assessment
  2. A 3-yr business plan
  3. A business case
  4. A Hoshin grounded operational plan (1-yr), and
  5. A PowerPoint Deck for communicating his business plan

He knew he needed two, but we asked those crucial questions— the answers to which gave us that view below the iceberg and so we knew he needed four. He shared his vision and we knew he was not naughty but nice.  So, we added him to our Santa’s list to make sure he got all four.

While getting ready for funding opportunities there came his early cry for a business case, and that we added to his wish list.  He took his case to a funder and for that he scored an “A”.

Armed with a risk adjusted business plan; the know-how for using insurance and investment for supporting his risk intelligence strategy, his big business mind is growing even bigger.  So, on the night before Christmas Eve we were happy to deliver that PowerPoint Deck to help him take that other step towards next level.

But Santa stopped by us also, for Magate Wildhorse he left the gift of —promised, delivered. And on the Eve of Christmas Eve he gifted us with a warm handshake from an old client; that handshake sang the melody of rich relationships built.

Thanks to all our clients and supporters for sending us off to 10th heaven through the opportunity to help you or a deserving friend to succeed.
Merry Christmas and we look forward to serving you even better in 2017.

Ho ho ho!

Is Strategic Thinking―Really All That Important?

 

It is if you are looking to explore or develop ideas, products, services or innovations that get you where you want to be.

So yes, Strategic thinking, can deliver what you need for getting to competitive edge.  Therefore, you will want it to be your number one.

Strategic thinking involves research, asking the right questions, and of course thinking. It happens in a formal strategic thinking process before moving into strategy planning. strategic thinking firemagatReading a booking, doing your chores, watching a video, nature watching and many other day-to-day activities might generate ideas. But strategic thinking for your business, career or other big moves is often designed to force you to think in a structured way about the next opportunity and how you might seize or create it.  It is designed to focus on what you could do to gain a competitive edge or  how to retain it.

Get hooked on engaging in regular strategic thinking activities today!

You might be surprised to find that completing a questionnaire designed to force you into a strategic thinking mode could deliver rich results.

magatestrategicthinkingStrategic thinking might be facilitated by the use of numerous tools and processes in a group setting or alone.

I have been speaking about business monkey, macaws, and mimics over the past days. If you are yet to figure out your business monkey and don’t know what the crap I am talking about, I invite you to take the survey at the following link, http://magatewildhorse.ca/planning-risk-and-entrepreneurship-survey/.

This survey is not a customer feedback or customer satisfaction instrument; it is designed to give to you and your business as much as it is designed to share your thoughts and viewpoints with us.

Request for More Time to Complete Risk, Planning, and Entrepreneurship Survey

We received your calls and texted messages for an extension; we will therefore extend the deadline for completing the survey to midnight April 29, 2016.

You will find that a segment of the survey will force you into a bit of strategic thinking for your business, career in management or human resource management. You are bound to walk away with a few ideas or viewpoints that you would have come up with yourself.

Tell us about the point in the Survey when you got that “Bing” regarding your business monkey if you have not yet found it. It might also be your “monkey” regarding hiring and adding human talent to your business. Perhaps a seed will be planted and you will find your monkey tomorrow, next week, or even next month.

20 something minutes is a worthy investment in strategic thinking for career or business. Many thanks to those of you who have already completed the survey.

Thanks also for the feedback regarding your experience.

We thank the respondents who texted, called or Email to indicate that they have completed the Survey.

We look forward to the views of those who will share during the next couple of hours!

Have a great day!

Request a free webinar on how to develop your planning matrix today!
What you will learn?

How to create and use the planning matrix to:

  • Organize to get the right work done;
  • How to get more work for profit; and
  • How to improve your performance results.

Attend a webinar Free with no purchase obligation!

Why You Should Attend
There are 3 little things that often prevent an organization from achieving the competitive edge needed to succeed or thrive.
They are:

  • Getting organized in order to get work done;
  • Putting structures in place for getting work done; and
  • Getting more of the right work done for making a profit or surplus.

Many organizations have a business plan or a strategic plan.

Many host Board Retreats, strategic planning exercises, management meetings, trainings, and team building exercises yet fail to achieve the desired performance results.

No matter how hard they try they just can’t seem to get the right things done.

Where things fall apartThings generally fall apart at the point where strategy, execution, and execution tools should be tied together.

Why do things fall apart at this point?
Because there is generally no strategic management system for tying the two together.
But organizations can choose one of two proven tools for solving the problem, they are:

  • The Logical Framework Matrix; and the
  • Hoshin X-Matrix.

The tool you choose will depend on your processes and strategies.
Organizations that are implementing a LEAN Strategy and or Lean Process may prefer the Hoshin X-Matrix.
Either tool makes it so much easier to get your “Plan, Do, Check, Improve” right.

Tie the Right Knots

How We Can Help

  • We will create your Logical Framework  Matrix or your Hoshin X-Matrix
  • Provide hold your hand help to create Work Plans based on your Logical Framework Matrix
  • We will prepare, review and refine, or create your Quarterly and Annual Organizational Performance Reports based on your Planning Matrix
