BP insights before defining FE

From now on, it seems that all I am doing will be connected to the framework.  If I choose one FE within the IOC (Int’l Olympic Committee), the focus will be on donors.  If I choose another FE, the focus will be on volunteers; and a third option would be related to beneficiaries.  And they all seem valid. 

 

My understanding at this point is that the Big Picture will not embrace the entire “organization” but only one perspective of the organization, or better saying, one specific objective.  And the IOC seems to have, seriously, hundreds of objectives.   I once thought that a company would have only one BP, like the master examples McDonalds (convenience, bla bla bla), BMW (performance, bla bla bla) and Walmart (logistics, bla bla bla).

 

Honestly, I think now that the BP is an excellent framework for “reading” the company in its various strategies.  For example, I am looking at the IOC in its myriad of programs, commissions and events, and for each one, I can use the BP as a “consistency check”. The more I use the framework, the more effective I will be at the organization, since I will be able to prioritize resources and to manage information.

 

Nice. Too bad that I only have 5 hours to complete the paper. Go keyboard, go.
