Learn How to Act Strategically

In today's world of competing priorities, strategic thinking is essential. It enables you to navigate complexities, make informed decisions, and stay focused on what truly matters. This quarter's SoCalGas U newsletter will highlight resources on acting strategically.

Acting strategically involves careful planning and thoughtful decision-making. Here are some effective strategies and resources to help you act strategically:

  1. Set Clear Goals and Expectations: Define what you want to achieve. Clear, measurable goals provide direction and help you stay focused. Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks to track progress and stay motivated.
  2. Plan and Adapt: Develop a detailed plan that outlines the steps needed to achieve your goals, considering potential obstacles and how to overcome them. Be flexible and open to change. Monitor your progress regularly and be prepared to adjust your strategy as needed. Learn from successes and failures, and continuously refine your approach to stay aligned with your goals.

Enterprise Change Coordination

Human Resources Research & Analysis and Enterprise Change Management teamed up on an effort called Enterprise Change Coordination, which seeks to collaboratively identify, assess, and mitigate risks that could prevent projects from achieving their desired outcomes.

When multiple initiatives impact the same departments at the same time, it is harder for employees to adopt change. The goal is to improve awareness of challenges that could threaten project success by providing a holistic view of change and creating opportunities for stronger coordination.

The group developed a dashboard that provides visibility to potential challenges and meets monthly with Project Managers and Change Managers to discuss strategies while there is still time to be proactive.

If you want to improve the opportunity for success of your project, please contact Don Orr, ECM Program Manager.
