Human-Centered Strategy

What’s the best way to ensure your strategy is sound, and inspires action and impact?

iF uses a human-centered approach to develop strategies that are clear, convincing, actionable, measurable, and responsive.

Stakeholder engagement

We’ve observed the challenges of designing and implementing strategic initiatives that will truly move an organization to action and results: Most strategies fail to account for the very people who will enact them, and in doing so, they fail to ever drive lasting change.

Principles

Truly effective strategies deliver on five fundamental criteria:

Clear: Easily understood by everyone in the organization
Convincing: Supported by those who will implement them
Actionable: Map directly to tactical changes in teams and workflows
Measurable: The progress and outcomes can be measured via clear metrics
Relevant: They take into account dynamic markets, technologies, and trends

The Process

Strategy is often formulated by the consensus of too many or the command of a singular leader. Each of these approaches fails to deliver on the principles of good strategy outlined above. We engage an agile, representative team of leaders to undergo a rigorous and generative process with us.

Outcomes

By undertaking this iterative process and involving an agile working group of empowered and informed leaders, we formulate strategies that lead with clear objectives, get buy-in from teams, and lead to immediate actions.
