One observation was the importance of
"patience" – with which we would
wholeheartedly agree.
So it got us thinking about ingredients for success.
Here are some key ones, borrowed from our bespoke workshop
process dedicated to this end.
Clarity of need:
articulated and connected to the business needs
Gain v Pain: clarity
of what's needed and the pain points along the way
Leadership: the
bedrock of any project
Strategy: integrated
– articulated – understood
Planning: which
falls out of the strategy and in respect of which one can never do
enough
Alignment: cemented
by sound governance
Resilience: which
comes back to leadership
Each can be strengthened for any employer embarking on a
bargaining campaign by the taking of tangible steps. You might not
be perfect on each but it's possible to 'move the
dial'.
