Kate North, IFMA Fellow’s Post

I am pleased to have completed my 7th of The Chief of Staff Association's ten core competency courses, this time on the topic of Stakeholder Engagement. Led by INSEAD Professor Lite Nartey, we explored fundamentals of successful stakeholder engagement, including: · Identifying and mapping stakeholders as a critical component of strategic planning · Engaging stakeholders as a means to create value: by bringing together diverse sets of stakeholders, organizations are able to create synergies that simply aren’t possible when they act alone. · The critical role that Chiefs of Staff play in engaging internal and external stakeholders How do you engage stakeholders to achieve your organization’s purpose and create value?

What a wonderful opportunity to meet and discuss the advancements and parameters of the business ethics field and the role of Journal of Business Ethics. If your researching issues in the area of business ethics consider submitting to JBE!

The ICMA Conference is HERE !! This is my favorite event of the year. I get a half day with City, County, Town, and District Managers from all over the world. I learn from them. They learn from me. My topic is “Delivering Great Results from your Vision and Strategic Plan”.  I’m honored to say that the room is always filled with (the max of) 50 participants. I use the 8-piece Framework of Organizational Excellence as the overall desired outcome from having these documents. Yes, they obviously should be built and implemented from the unique context, location, and needs of each jurisdiction. But, sustainment comes from Organizational Excellence. In the workshop, we will use a simple assessment instrument to measure the quality and usage of the strategic plan. I also provide an example of how one local government communicated it through all levels of staff to minimize what’s called the “alignment gap”. We then learn and define how fully communicating performance expectations can convert higher-level intentions into day-to-day activities and behaviors. To close, we offer a menu of “transformational measures” to stimulate how we will inspire and track our progress on making the plan futuristic and successful. Although this presentation is local government-focused, I’m happy to talk to those leaders who see value and who are committed to building and sustaining excellence in their organization.
