The RoadMap(r) transformation planning process does two things: It helps
a leadership team develop a comprehensive transformation action plan;
and it establishes the foundational climate for change.

The action planning begins with an understanding of the destination,
a detailed definition of what "world class" means in the context of your
organization. Here, the leadership team is aided by a database of the
best visions of over a thousand executives in dozens of corporate,
government, and not-for-profit organizations.

The current organization is then assessed against this vision, and
gaps are identified.
Gaps are validated by input from staff and key clients. Thus, these
two key constituents feel heard and are part of the process, and the
action plan will address their concerns. This builds their buy-in.
Then, the leadership team learns to trace gaps (symptoms) to their
root causes. This imparts a key skill of leadership: understanding the
organizational dynamics that would cause the good people in the
organization to perform below their aspirations.
The root causes are then assembled into corrective actions,
addressing the five fundamental organizational systems.

systems....
These corrective actions are sequenced based on both urgencies and
technical interdependencies.
