[Enterprise Value Stream Analysis]

Background: The Air Force unit in which I was newly assigned was initiating a strategic planning session to align our new organizational priorities with the incoming commander's priorities. I was asked to facilitate and lead the strategic planning effort, as well as drive discussions and changes to all of the 19 subordinate organizations across a 2,200-person unit.

The Opportunity: The US Air Force had just published new strategic guidance and direction prior to my arrival. My new boss and commander wanted to build an exciting new strategic plan and directed a different approach to organizational problem-solving that he had seen work in the past. 

I conducted this work.

The Goal: Schedule, plan, facilitate, lead and track all 19 organizational planning sessions, aligning unit strategy with Air Force strategy, as well as building out performance improvement action plans for each office.

The Result: 19 Successful EVSAs were conducted with 19 associated actionable project plans with 86 separate improvement projects kicked-off!

This is one example of a unit level EVSA deliverable as an outbrief to the commander.

The Result: 19 Successful EVSAs were conducted with 19 associated actionable project plans with 86 separate improvement projects kicked-off within 1 year!

I also built a leadership Balanced Scorecard for the top leaders of our organization to visualize our direction, communicate the goals, and have every Airman see themselves in the mission. I had this visual printed to posterboard and hung the poster in every unit and the headquarters to drive home our plan.
