A burning platform is the motivation to move toward the vision and overcome obstacles because you can no longer stay where you are.
Marvin has used his work with the Botwanian government to help other governments, corporations and organizations to succeed in developing and implementing strategy where many others have failed.
He summarizes what he learned from his work in Botswana:
- Take a holistic approach to transformative change. Strategy must embrace all the elements involved, not just a few.
- Create a Performance Management System in which managers can engage with and be held accountable to.
- Commit to training and invest in leadership. Marvin has been instrumental in working with Transformation Systems International to develop resources like CAMP, FLEX and CATALYST.
- Be willing to experiment and learn. Achieving a strategic result is a continuous process, not checking marks off a plan.
