Roles and Responsibilities of the SMO at Chrysler PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide SMO Series: Strategic Management Office (SMO) Implementation PowerPoint presentation, outlines the role of the Strategic Management Office (SMO) in the context of a Chrysler case study, focusing on the development of strategy materials and communication content. It highlights 3 key areas of responsibility: Strategic Planning, Strategy Communication, and Initiative Management.
In Strategic Planning, a senior manager and 3 managers engage in scenario planning to identify core challenges. This process is crucial for selecting strategic initiatives that will be prioritized in the annual planning cycle. The involvement of multiple managers indicates a collaborative approach to addressing strategic issues.
The Strategy Communication section emphasizes the SMO's role in creating Balanced Scorecards and strategy packs. Here, another senior manager and 3 managers work closely with the corporate communications team. They are responsible for producing various communication materials, including presentations and training resources. The SMO serves as a content expert, facilitating discussions in quarterly executive meetings and monthly strategy forums, which underscores its importance in maintaining alignment across the organization.
In the Initiative Management area, 2 senior managers, 3 managers, and 2 analysts are tasked with identifying and evaluating strategic initiatives. Their role is to assess the progress of these initiatives and provide guidance to the SMO team. However, it is noted that operational groups are accountable for executing their own initiatives, indicating a clear delineation of responsibilities.
Overall, the slide presents a structured approach to strategic management, showcasing how the SMO supports Chrysler in aligning strategic objectives with effective communication and initiative execution.
