From Strategy to Action is a book for public sector managers who are tired of spinning their wheels, and prepared to tackle the challenging complexity of public service.
A simple, yet powerful framework to bridge the insufferable gap between strategy and action. Applied successfully in public sector organisations across New Zealand and Australia, this framework promises to turn good intentions into powerful outcomes, to provide real public value.
This book is helpful for anyone needing to bridge the gap between thought and action. But it is especially beneficial for a public manager who:
- Is new to the sector and can’t come to grips with the glacial pace of change
- Has worked in the sector for a long time and has become jaded by change fatigue and strategic buzzwords
- Wants desperately to make change happen for customers and community but feels hamstrung by people, politics and processes
- Has the mandate to drive strategy but is stuck in the weeds, drowning in business as usual (BAU) and can’t tell when or how to make it happen.
