108 | HR leadership: How to create a simple but powerful one-page strategy, with Dr Max Mckeown

Strategy is a topic we’ve explored before on HR Coffee Time (and we’ll look at again in the future) because it’s an important aspect of HR leadership. Whether you’re a seasoned strategist, or you feel uncomfortable and worried when it comes to strategy, this episode is here to help you build your skills and confidence.

Strategy expert and author of the award-winning book, “The Strategy Book: How to think and act strategically to deliver outstanding results”, Dr Max Mckeown shares:

  • What strategy is & what it isn’t
  • How you’re already a strategist (even if you don’t realise it)
  • Why people doubt themselves when it comes to being strategic
  • The three parts of being strategic – timescale, scope, & sequence
  • An example of strategy done badly
  • An example of a good strategy (McDonalds)
  • Strategy is simple but simple is complex
  • Max’s strategy tool, Speed Strategy – where are we now, where do we want to go, what do we need to do to get there, how do we need to do it, what do we need to measure along the route, what is pushing us, what might stop us?
