Formulate Vision & Strategy

cordin8 Brainstorming enables teams to generate, categorize, evaluate and prioritize ideas anonymously for SWOT analysis, potential strategies, etc. in order to engage in substantive discussions necessary to formulate the vision and strategy.  

Setup Mission Control

Mission Control is the hub for the network of teams that will deliver on the strategy.  Objectives are linked to cordin8 TeamMachines™ --where teams plan and manage an initiative--for communication with Mission Control.  Distributed reporting makes it easy to collect KPI actuals from measure reporters.

Plan initiatives

Each initiative has a cordin8 TeamMachine™ where team members organize, structure, plan, and coordinate the work necessary to delivery on the strategy.  Combines best of classic project management methods and agile techniques.

Launch Initiatives

Initiatives integrate classic waterfall, swimlanes, agile release trains, hybrid, and more.  

Review & Adjust 

Mission Control's interactive dashboard enables stakeholder engagement in the context of real-time status of the strategy, including KPIs, performance analysis, recommended actions, and regular stand-ups (daily, weekly) along with more formal reviews at monthly and/or quarterly intervals.​

​

Brainstorming is a fundamental team tool for "figuring-it-out" work
