Why Choose Thrive Hound & the StratOp System

Unique Benefits of the StratOp Process

Holistic approach

We don’t just look at one aspect of your organization. We look at each aspect and how they contribute to the overall health of the whole.

Addresses the strategic, operational, and financial

Keeping your business running requires you to not only plan for tomorrow and take care of today, but have the finances to do so. StratOp’s unique process address all three of the elements, helping you ensure your organization is vital and healthy for years to come.

The belief that it is the entire enterprise that succeeds or fails

Therefore, all voices have the freedom to speak into the health of the whole. If one part suffers, we all suffer. We must manage the entire enterprise towards health.

The process is a management system

The StratOp process becomes a system by which we learn to adapt to change, reinvent ourselves when needed, make cross-functional decisions, and develop our people.

Adaptation is built in

We build in constant adaptation to change on the micro and macro levels. If we work our plan effectively, the system will guide us towards perspective on change and how to respond to it.

A relentless war on waste

Because breakthrough thinking and acting is horizontal and because the StratOp process is a cross-functional, horizontal system, waste is exposed and eliminated as we manage the plan.

Work is organized by its own logic

Form follows function and structure forms around the substance of the core plan. How we organize ourselves logically flows out of the process.

Controls performance drivers towards breakthrough

Effective organizations have performance drivers that control the outcome of the plan’s success. Once these drivers are identified, the system guides us to manage them towards higher performance.

Develops multi-dimensional leaders

Built into the StratOp system is a leadership development component. As the plan is worked, those with leadership competencies and potential are given an opportunity to develop, grow and lead.

Identifies enterprise W.I.N.’s

Lou Holtz coined the term W.I.N.’s, standing for “What’s Important Now.” No everything can be achieved immediately. Success is finding a way to thrive while living within your capacity and resources. The StratOp system guides us to focus on, and manage, our W.I.N.’s.
