Summary:

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy visited NASA for the first time. During his tour of the facility, he met a janitor carrying a broom down the hallway. The President then casually asked the janitor what he did for NASA, and the janitor replied, “I’m helping put a man on the moon.”

“Line of Sight (LoS)” is how an individual sees how their role fits into the bigger picture-the thread that links people, teams, and organizations. When people have a clear line of sight, much like the janitor, they understand their company’s purpose and how their work contributes to business goals.

In this session, you will learn how to: 

  • Create Line of Sight (LoS) models that connect the work done at lower levels of detail with a clear path to organizational outcomes.
  • Verify capabilities are linked to clear means and ends to enable organizational transformation.
  • Leverage open-source tools to document LoS models and use them as a part of analysis efforts.
  • Identify sources of organizational conflict and provide leadership with analysis around risk and resource implications.

Participants will receive a workbook to help kick-start their LoS modeling and analysis efforts.
