"It's about empowering the
players to make decisions for
themselves rather than ruling

But while some clubs
work in silos, Leicester's
backroom teams have

competing with clubs
with far greater
resources.

Create an X-Matrix on a sheet of flipchart paper and
populate it using a selection of the items below.
• Aim to have 2-3 Results, 2-3 Strategies, 5-7
Outcomes and 5-7 Tactics.
• Add your own qualifiers (e.g. increase, lower,
more) and rephrase to be more specific if
appropriate.
• Complete the correlations between your choices.

Think about what you have learned today
and assess your readiness to get started.
Move to the part of the room that represents
your readiness.
40. Karl Scotland @kjscotland http://availagility.co.uk #LKNA16 #StrategyDeployment
Form standing pairs or triads and answer the
relevant question for your level of readiness.
• “Not quite yet” – what will it take for you to be “on
the way”?
• “On the way” – what will it take to be “ready to
roll”?
• “Ready to roll” – what will it take to remain “ready
to roll”?
