Reinvention, Step 2 - the NEW Strategy Bridge

Once the rethought (or original) Core Beliefs Set had been adopted, it calls for the immediate review and recreation of the new Strategy Bridge element of the Realignment (Model) documentation set. The realignment documentation set is highly flexible in that a single set may be used to connect the Beliefs Set with the Work Regimen. In the alternative, however, multiple Strategy Bridges may be needed to assure clarity. There are five strategic categories in the Strategy Bridge that must be rethought (or created originally): Advantages, Scenario, Initiatives, Standards, and Products and Services.

1. Advantages. The advantages section provides a short list of the most significant conditions that provide a more beneficial condition than may have existed previously. For some, as an example, the current economic downturn may be an advantage because of the abundance of qualified potential laborers. Current conditions provide advantages for QWLC at this time:

• The reasonable availability of highly qualified RGB Certified Practitioners.
• The maturity of the RGB Technology lends itself to replication.
• The proliferation of Internet systems such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
• The availability of "how to" videos that foster distance learning with realistic scenarios.
• The constrained revenues of organizations that can benefit from internal RGB Certified Practitioners as a cost saving measure.

2. Scenario. The scenario depicts the current conditions so that stakeholders have a unified understanding of those conditions. This unity concerning a realistic scenario a cascade of thinking into unified courses of action that make good business sense. The QWLC scenario is simple:

The Founders have worked diligently to create an informal network of users based on a common technology - the RGB Technology! This informal network permits one practitioner to support and assist another when help is needed, yet operate independently in the interim. Both internal and external practitioners use RGB Technologies on a routine basis and are able to quickly adapt that experience to suit any client organization with minimal effort. This means a fast and economical solution fora wide range of user organizations is now available. The Founders plan to expand this informal network and the user organization base through low cost Roadshow events that "recruit" new practitioners and expand the user organization base. This steady expansion will perpetuate the growth and strength of the technology well beyond the mid-Atlantic region toward a national and potentially international audience.


3. Initiatives. Initiatives include new activities (even if "new" means stopping something that previously was ongoing). QWLC intends to start and sustain the following activities while curbing direct user organization service:

• Travel that includes conference showcase workshops for potential user organizations.
• Streamlined RGB Certification processes for practitioners performing simplified workshop templates that expand with experience and confidence.
• Provide low-cost starter kits included in a program of FastTrack RGB Certification.
• Increase reliance on the Internet options for distant learning.
• Engage available experienced RGB Practitioners in new user organizations as required.

4. Standards. Standards clarity the one acceptable methodology or results in product and service delivery. All necessary resources are dedicated to achieving standards so that performance is consistent and measured. QWLC will engage the following standards to achieve the stated initiatives:

• RGB Certification will only be extended to those who meet or exceed performance criteria.
• Support of RGB Practitioners in achieving stated user organization outcomes is paramount.
• RGB Technology will continue to be based on experiences gain in actual applications.
• The RGB Client Library and CapacityWareTM Software will be continuously revised to incorporate learnings posted by experiences RGB Certified Practitioners.
• Additions to the informal RGB Practitioners network will be approved by the Founders.

5. Products and Serices. These products and services clarify deliverables to clients and customers. The current QWLC mix is:

• Products will include: technology publications, software, videography, and tangible mementos.
• Services will include: recommendations, mentorship, Internet connectivity, and learning experiences.

Summary

The Overarching Roadshow Strategy Bridge is a means of achieving an expanded informal network of user organizations and RGB Certified Practitioners well beyond the mid-Atlantic region that potentially includes an national and international structure. It will be achieved by the travel and showcase activities in major metropolitan markets conducted personally by the Founders. The RGB Technology has proven to be an effective classical organization development system that deserves a broad-base of users achieved through carefully designed exposure in this highly personal manner.
