Sirocco Strategic Management

In order to ensure effective and expert delivery on strategic issues and to ensure that Sirocco itself stays and focussed and strategic the company has built important alliances with experts in their field. This enables topclass delivery of benchmark level expertise at lowest appropriate cost. In short, Sirocco helps to create the overall strategic plan, participates in the identification of appropriate actions needed to deliver on the plan, assists in the selection of the right experts to effect delivery and, when required, manage the overall implementation plan. There are therefore two keys areas of focus:

• Strategy, Leadership, Teamwork and Organizational Knowledge
   
  The primary differentiator of performance in any organization is the efficacy with which people are motivated to work together and to achieve collective objectives. The achievement of this is no simple task. It is multi-faceted, highly complex, extraordinarily challenging and, when achieved, amazingly motivational.
   
  Sirocco started its life specialising in this area and still concentrates much of its energies in researching, networking and implementing the best in class approaches to assist organisations to capitalise on this latent potential.
 
• People and the Triple Bottom Line
   
  Organisations all around the world have been challenged to improve governance, improve transparency, and contribute more substantially to the societies of which they are part. Most organizations of any stature have given attention to all three elements of the Triple Bottom Line but until relatively recently most only paid serious attention to the financial sustainability of the business. However world events have begun to be much more demanding of organizations and it has become almost mandatory to report on the activities of the organization on all three elements: Financial, Social and Environmental. There are, however very few organizations that give all three the same importance and virtually none that integrate the three in a manner that ensures their integration into the overall strategy and life of the business. This has now become a key activity and expertise area of Sirocco.
 
Some key questions:
 
• Does your organization have clear strategy that has been properly communicated and internalized by people at all levels?
• Do you understand the absolute imperative of behaving in a way that ensures the sustainability not only of your business but of the Planet?
• Do your various components of social and environmental initiatives contribute to the overall strategy of your organization?
• How integrated are all these elements into the work that your organization does?
• Do your people and other stakeholders believe in these strategies and understand the need for them?
• How do you measure and benchmark the organizational initiatives?
