Strategy Deployment: Driving Strategies Across the System

How Leaders Turn Strategic Plans into Aligned, Executable Action

Many organizations invest significant time in strategic planning—only to see priorities stall, initiatives fragment, and accountability fade as plans move downstream.

In this on-demand webinar, Bill Griffith, VP of Integration and Standardization at Broward Health, shares how a large, complex healthcare system transformed strategy deployment from disconnected spreadsheets and presentations into a living, system-wide execution process using KaiNexus.

Drawing from real-world experience, this session walks through how strategy can be clearly defined, cascaded, measured, and continuously reviewed—so priorities stay visible, aligned, and actionable at every level of the organization.

Why Strategy Deployment Breaks Down

Even well-crafted strategies fail when organizations struggle to:

• Translate high-level goals into clear actions

• Maintain visibility across departments and locations

• Prevent duplication of effort and competing priorities

• Tie strategic work to meaningful metrics and accountability

• Adapt plans when conditions change

This webinar shows what changes when strategy becomes an ongoing management system, not a once-a-year exercise.

What You’ll Learn

• How Broward Health moved from siloed planning to system-wide alignment

• How strategic priorities were cascaded from executive leadership to frontline teams

• Why fewer, clearer strategies outperform long lists of initiatives

• How KPIs, timelines, and ownership reinforce accountability

• How monthly operating reviews keep strategy alive and relevant

• Lessons learned from adapting strategy during rapid change

Key Insights

Successful strategy deployment requires more than alignment—it requires visibility, discipline, and adaptability.

One of the most powerful shifts shared in this webinar is the move away from static planning artifacts toward a shared, transparent system where leaders can see progress, risks, and dependencies in real time. When strategies are connected to specific owners, measurable outcomes, and regular review cycles, execution becomes part of daily leadership behavior—not an afterthought.

Another critical insight is the importance of focus. Broward Health reduced hundreds of competing initiatives by consolidating and prioritizing work across hospitals, enabling teams to concentrate on what truly mattered. This focus, combined with visual management and consistent operating reviews, helped prevent “boiling the ocean” while still advancing long-term goals.

Finally, the session highlights how strategy deployment must remain flexible. By treating strategic plans as living documents, leaders were able to adjust priorities, pause work when conditions changed, and reallocate resources without losing momentum or clarity.
