Enablement plan and Four year strategy –
Collaboration, Quality, Value and Legacy
As part of the CDO four-year strategy, we’ve identified four key result areas and if you have not had much time
to understand each area and how it involves you then here’s a brief update for you.
As part of the collective CDO journey to achieve the KPIs, the APMT has also introduced an Enablement Plan.
To bring this plan to life and to ensure all CDO staff are on the journey with us we talked with a number of
people across Launceston, Devonport and Hobart during August. A priority is to keep our teams strong and
communications open while we board the CDO bus towards the completion of successful projects over the
next four years.
Through our interactions, workshops and meetings, we have listened and heard that staff want to know how
Cultural Development will be integrated and continued as a part of the Enablement Plan. A first step to strong
Cultural Development is to make sure that everyone of us in the team feel safe and supported to follow our
Way of Working. That is why we are soon launching a CATS award – read more about it later in this newsletter.
If you’re wanting to know the importance of Cultural Development and the impact it has on an organisation’s
strategy here is another great video commentary by Seth Godin.
The strategy and marketing guru speaks about the importance of an organisation’s culture, where a lack of
strength in culture can be detrimental to the strategy where Culture can eat strategy.
