If you are like many other business leaders we speak with and feel like it can be a struggle to keep your organization focused and aligned – and it feels like someone is always trying to bring you a shiny new penny, there is an effective tool you can utilized to create the prioritized alignment and focus your organization needs to get to its NEXT LEVEL.
And that tool is a Capabilities Roadmap. You can download your FREE copy of our Capabilities Roadmap Template by completing the form below.
A Capabilities Roadmap can save you, and your organization a ton of time by providing prioritized set of needs and capabilities you and your organization want to have – now or at some point in the future to help drive your business to that NEXT LEVEL.
When developed and utilized properly, your organization’s capabilities roadmap can make you more effective and efficient with your time and energies by laying out which shiny pennies might be worth looking at and pursuing.
Now this, like any other tool isn’t magic, and to be honest it does take a little bit of work to pull it together – but this is DEFINITELY time well spent – because once you do have this and everyone understands it and supports it, you’ll be amazed by the amount of alignment and focus it creates. And how it reduces A LOT of unnecessary distractions.
So what a Capabilities Roadmap boils down to is thoroughly exploring and answering four simple questions across ALL relevant areas or functions of your organization (e.g., Marketing, IT, Finance, Operations, Accounting, Customer Service, Sales, etc.).
So here they are:
1) – What are our current capabilities – that is, what are we able to do today.
2) – What capabilities should we have today that we don’t
3) – What interim capabilities will we pursue to serve as a bridge to get us from where we should be today to where we want to be in the ideal state.
4) – What are the ideal capabilities would we like to have in the future
