In today’s fast-paced business environment, uncertainty is the new norm. Market disruption, political changes, economic shifts, and global pandemics have made it challenging for organizations to plan, prioritize and execute their initiatives. However, high-performing organizations have mastered the art of staying ahead of uncertainty through continuous planning and replanning, applying Lean and Agile processes, implementing a robust tech stack, and following a product framework for scoring, ranking, and prioritizing products.
Continuous Planning and Replanning:
High-performing organizations don’t rely on static annual planning. Instead, they continuously plan and replan their initiatives to adapt to changing circumstances. According to McKinsey & Company, organizations that use a dynamic approach to planning and budgeting outperform their peers by 4 to 7 percent in terms of revenue growth and return on investment.
Broadly Applied Lean and Agile Processes:
Lean and Agile processes are not just for software development. High-performing organizations apply these principles across all functions and departments to improve collaboration, reduce waste, and increase speed to market. According to Accenture, organizations that apply Agile methodologies improve their time-to-market by 18 to 20 percent and reduce costs by 15 to 20 percent.
Implementing a Robust Tech Stack:
High-performing organizations leverage technology to visualize change, automate processes, and facilitate collaboration. According to Deloitte, organizations that invest in digital technologies see a 14 percent increase in revenue growth and a 12 percent decrease in costs.
Following a Product Framework:
High-performing organizations follow a framework for scoring, ranking, and prioritizing products, including whether or not to retire or kill a product. According to Bain & Company, organizations that follow a product framework increase their revenue growth by 30 to 50 percent.
