Identifying Barriers to Organizational Speed


This PPT slide, part of the 47-slide Organizational Velocity - Improving Speed, Efficiency & Effectiveness of Business PowerPoint presentation, addresses the factors contributing to a lack of organizational speed, emphasizing that "Organizational Will" is the most critical element. It presents a structured view of typical causes of what is termed "Operational Lethargy." The central theme is that without a strong commitment from the organization, even the best strategies can falter.

The slide identifies three primary causes: unclear or conflicting priorities, insufficient resources, and a general lack of speed. Each cause is linked to actionable insights. For instance, the slide suggests clarifying priorities to mitigate the confusion that often hampers decision-making and execution. This indicates that organizations must ensure alignment on goals and objectives to enhance their operational tempo.

The second cause, insufficient resources, points to the need for a thorough review of resource allocation. This suggests that organizations should not only assess their current resource distribution, but also ensure that they are adequately equipped to meet their strategic objectives.

Lastly, the slide hints at the underlying attitude, culture, and incentives within the organization. These elements can significantly influence how quickly and effectively an organization can respond to challenges. It implies that fostering a culture that prioritizes speed and agility is essential for overcoming operational hurdles.

Overall, the slide serves as a diagnostic tool for organizations seeking to improve their operational efficiency. It highlights the importance of aligning priorities, ensuring adequate resources, and cultivating a supportive culture to drive speed in execution.
