Opportunity Identification

View Template for: SHU Opportunity Identification

This section provides the horizontal unit manager and others an opportunity to openly discuss possible actions that could improve the performance of the horizontal unit. This section is different from the section on major programs and tactical action plans in which each program has already been approved and someone is assigned to complete the task by a given date.

The opportunities listed here are for discussion purposes. Over time, the opportunities listed should be individually analyzed and either discarded or made part of the list of approved action plans.

In practice, this section is usually updated the most during a strategy review session with representatives from the various businesses, other horizontal units, and corporate management.

To facilitate the process of generating a list of opportunities, the template page includes the beginning of common opportunities facing most horizontal units. They should be completed or deleted based on the current situation of the horizontal unit.

A final suggestion regarding opportunity identification is that almost all ideas given in earnest should be written down and not immediately discarded. Good ideas are too often rejected by those who are not able to appreciate them; and rejecting ideas immediately does not encourage people to participate fully in the future.
