What is the difference between StratPro and Organizational ReWilding?
Widely used within The Alternative Board (TAB) network, StraPro has similarities and differences to Organizational ReWilding. The purpose of this blog is to outline both methodologies and show how they can work together in a business.
StratPro – Where Strategy Meets Productivity
StratPro is a business leadership program that combines strategy and productivity and will get your organization performing at its maximum potential. The end result is an engaged leadership team that embraces the organization’s vision, is fully accountable, and knows exactly how to execute. StratPro’s target market is firm with 20 or more employees and annual revenues revenue of $2M or more.
StratPro combines facilitated leadership workshops with follow-up sessions dedicated to Execution and Accountability.
StratPro starts with an “MRI” of your business, which identifies gaps in your business and improvement opportunities.
The StratPro process is the same for all businesses and features workshops or meetings as often as every two weeks.
StratPro requires the use of a proprietary platform (TAB’s Business Builder’s Blueprint™).
Sessions can be self-facilitated or by a trained StratPro Facilitator.
Organizational ReWilding
Organizational ReWilding is a growth methodology that helps businesses understand and master the rules of growth. ReWilding is designed to help companies navigate seven specific stages of growth from 1 to 350+ employees.
Organizational ReWilding diagnoses issues, prescribes solutions, and predicts what will be coming as the organization grows.
Solutions are based on a business’ Stage of Growth and findings identified by a personalized ReWild Business Assessment™. The RBA leverages patterns distilled through the research and observation of over 1,300 small and midsized businesses to configure a plan specific to that business.
Organizational ReWilding identifies key elements missing in the organization and infuses those elements through structured consulting engagements. The 11 elements cover Strategy, Culture, Leadership, and Infrastructure.
Consulting engagements are conducted using the ReWild Learning System (RLS), a three-part educational system involving knowledge transfer videos, hands-on sessions, and real-world application.
Infusing Organizational ReWilding elements into a business provides the organization with principles, tools, and methods that can be used going forward. There is no requirement for ongoing engagement from a ReWild Advisor.
Organizational ReWilding facilitates the critical thinking needed to strengthen the strategy and tactics of an organization, which have a ripple effect into the operations.
Organizational ReWilding and StratPro
Organizational ReWilding complements StratPro by providing a deeper dive into company culture, as well as training on various structures that help to provide clarity and consistency. Any business that has used StratPro can also find value from Organizational ReWilding. A business owner who has implemented StratPro would benefit most from the following packages:
Business Growth Framework, which creates organizational alignment to pursue growth by ensuring the management team understands a shared perspective on how businesses grow. This package identifies areas of misalignment and selects initiatives to ensure an organization is aligned with the rules of growth.
One-to-One Process, which provides a regular feedback loop between supervisor and employee that promotes proactive inquiry, creates personal accountability, and builds a bond of trust. It is one of the foundational structures needed to create a high functioning company. Structured and consistent communication between supervisors and employees fosters trust and provides opportunity to grow and nurture the staff.
Brand & Core Values establishes the organization’s promise to the market (Brand Values) and promise to the team (Core Values). When an organization defines these sets of values, it’s able to consistently deliver on its promises. This engagement imparts foundational principles and concepts that help a company create values that are authentic, meaningful, and stable.
Strong Management Team ensures the organization is led with a shared vision and common language. The Exceptional Manager Program instills the skills and mindset that grow the management team into the backbone of an exceptional business. The result is a cohesive management team that understands the business and is capable of owning more responsibility.
Interdepartmental Planning helps an organization employ a structured method of categorizing priorities across all departments, capturing prioritization from multiple perspectives, and facilitating the identification of shared organizational priorities. The team learns how to use a quarterly “planning scrub” to keep the entire Management Team on the same page and working on what is truly important for the organization.
Business Development Structure helps generate consistent and growing revenue through structure. This package infuses key structures into the business development functions (marketing, sales, and customer service) to ensure the company can reply on repeatable methods instead of specific individuals.
Master Processes facilitates the identification of key processes and systems that are lacking in the organization through surveys, hands-on activities, and group discussions. This engagement helps address challenges with destabilizing chaos, poor staff training, weak project management, and a high cost of lost expertise.
