Flight Levels Day
Strategy executed at OVB – How Flight Levels’ method-agnostic approach finally got us talking about the right things
Flight Levels Day 05 Talk by: Harald Wild
As a company, we are pretty good at developing our long-term strategy. We are also good at implementing the operational requirements. As a first step, we wanted help bridging the gap between strategy and operational execution. So we needed a way to put the strategy into action and talk about the right things at the right time.
A strategy always touches all departments and areas of the company, and so do the projects and actions to operationalize the strategy. This means that communication and the value stream must also be coordinated across departments.
In addition, many departments use different methods and tools to implement and track their requirements and tasks. So we wanted a solution that was method agnostic. It was also important for us to approach the problem from a solution perspective. In other words, to spend a lot of time in the problem area and then decide what is the most flexible and best solution for us to focus on, get the transparency we need, and at the same time talk about the important things across departments.
That`s why we`ve started to build an interdisciplinary Flightlevel 2 Board to help us coordinate the important levels of projects and actions. We are currently expanding the board and planning our way to Level 1 and Level 3 with the learnings from the Flight Level 2 board implementation, because we are convinced that this will make us even more effective.
