Target Action Plan (TAP™)

This product is referred to, as the "Missing Link." TAP™ is a Goal & Priority-Setting Process that is the "Bridge," between Strategy & Implementation. Most Companies' have brilliant Strategies, however they struggle with Implementation / Execution. TAP™ provides the vehicle to put the Strategy to work, within a Group, Department or an entire Organization by "translating" the Strategy into terms that can be understood at the Operating Level & putting an Action Planning Process in-place, which is fully implemented & measured. TAP™ is designed to focus on the "Critical Success Factors," which are the roots to Success. TAP™ takes participants thru a process that evaluates current workload & priorities, matches them to defined Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and then, redefines, reprioritizes & "scrubs" them to be consistent and "aligned" with intended, Strategy & Directions. The TAP = Target Action Plan is the actual "output" of the Program. Each participant "owns" a TAP, which is then fully implemented. TAP progress is updated monthly-to-quarterly to assure that it is on-track. TAP™ can be easily, integrated into a Company's Performance & Compensation Program. In many cases, TAP™ works in cooperation with the Strategic Formulation Program (SFP™).


A Case Example for TAP™:

An International, High-Tech Company was "plagued" with the inability to "apply" the Company Strategy & Directions to Company Operations. The Company was approaching $50 Million in size & long overdue to complete this task. As much as, the CEO & Senior Staff promoted this & trained Key employees, they were not able to make it happen. PMG began the campaign by introducing the Senior Staff to TAP™. This was sponsored by the CEO. Each Member of the Senior Staff "Mastered" the fundamentals of TAP™ prior to the Introduction, Cross-Departmentally. Each V.P. then conducted a Training Workshop with their Direct Reports (with PMG's assistance). Participants jointly-developed their TAPs = Target Action Plans, with their Direct Report Managers for consistency & continuity. Additionally, TAPs were exchanged, Cross-Departmentally, recognizing that Departments were "dependent' on one another, to implement their assigned, TAPs, effectively. TAP™ not only was a Critical Goal & Priority-Setting Process, it became a Key tool to "negotiate" priorities & resources, within the Company. The CEO indicated that TAP™ was critical to moving the Company forward and without it, the Company would still be struggling to "translate Strategy into Implementation." The Company continues to apply TAP™ at all levels & has integrated the Program into the Company's Performance & Compensation Program. The CEO comments, "Moving the Program to this level, let's everyone know that we mean business & that this Program is one of our Highest Priorities."
