 REAL TIME STRATEGIC CHANGE (RTSC) |
| Participative, structured and organized process for involving a whole system in planning together, simultaneously and at one place, the strategy of a company or organization. The goal of RTSC is to formulate a new vision and/or strategic direction of the organization and to obtain major improvements in key financial, quality, cost, and other performance measures.
The RTSC method enables all participants to interact with their leaders, outside experts and each other to exchange ideas and create a forum for analysis and dialogue. The process of designing a shared future enhances participant’s motivation and recognizes their individual role in the future of the organization. An RTSC event is normally put in place when management teams of an organization already have a future vision to be supported by employees through feedbacks and reflections. The key to success is a well-designed workshop (procedurally and logistically) which enables participants to tackle the right issues. By providing them with the right information, they will contribute to implement the organization strategy. RTSC is best used for groups of participants between 100 and 2500; the costs for organizing and hosting such a large event can be high. [1] |
