METHODOLOGY
One x four strategic framework Model
What is the One X Four Strategic Framework Model?
A business performance model that addresses challenges through assessment of the Cultural Dynamics of Systems Thinking, Business Acumen, Continuous Improvement, and Accountability, to activate the most impactful business levers within Four Key Infrastructure Segments: Strategic Intent, Financial Posture, Opportunity Management, and Capacity to Deliver.
Why Systems Thinking?
All businesses are systems with an extraordinary number of variables simultaneously interacting. This complex dynamic requires businesses to release the impediments and assumptions that cloud the ability to see things as they are. ACUITY teams with businesses to institutionalize rigorous attention to execution of business strategy to meet objectives.
Why Business Acumen?
Every single team member – formally or informally – makes decisions that affect the financial well-being of a business. Therefore, each member must understand how they contribute to the financial profile of the business and be willing to improve how they behave. ACUITY trains members to leverage the information, resources, and learning necessary to protect the financial integrity of business.
Why Continuous Improvement?
Sustained organizational excellence protects strategic intent and stems from continuously and aggressively enhancing the effective and efficient use of resources. ACUITY facilitates substantive Return on Investment through alignment of resources including people, policies, processes, and plans.
Why Accountability?
Execution must be the relentless grounding of every business. Strategy and organizational capacity, no matter how substantial, will not overcome the inability to deliver on expectations. ACUITY amplifies the integrity, courage, confidence, and adaptiveness of the leadership to meet objectives.
