The digital strategy tool StrategyFrame - How strategy is simple, digital, fast and applicable
In this article you will get insights around the StrategyFrame®, our new strategy software. Oliver Kern is Co-Founder of StrategyFrame® and as Chief Product and Learning Officer responsible for the content of our digital strategy tool, the StrategyFrame®. He holds a degree in photographic engineering and a Kellogg-WHU-Executive MBA.
Martin Kundt is a board member of Know How! AG, the leading provider of learning ecosystems based in Stuttgart. He leads the technical implementation of our digital strategy tool StrategyFrame®.
Learning processes in companies today have to change massively. Learning is increasingly becoming a strategic task in a company and may be understood as a challenge to create new things in ever shorter time.
StrategyFrame® as Software as a Service - Making Strategy Simple
The StrategyFrame® software provides a central place for everything you need around strategy work. It is a digital helper along the workflow of end-to-end strategy development and strategy implementation.
The StrategyFrame® provides a source for all the resources strategy makers need in an organization. In the second workflow step of the StrategyFrame® , the analysis, process steps and to-dos can be optimally mapped and retrieved.
What does workflow learning mean and what are the 5-Moments-of-Need?
Workflow learning and the 5-Moments-of-Need are the two sides of the same coin:
Workflow learning is known as 'Performance Support' or more recently as 'Digital Coach' or 'Flow-Learning'.
The 5-Moments-of-Need represent a learning theory that describes how a person learns cognitively. There are 5 moments: A person can...
- learn something new (New)
- Deepen knowledge (More)
- Apply knowledge (Apply)
- solve a problem (Solve)
- relearn something that was once learned (change).
However, the workplace is mainly about doing (Apply). Due to the rapid pace of our times and because of change processes, learning methods have changed over the years. At the moment of doing, guidance is already needed. Staff and employees no longer learn first at a seminar or course in order to apply what they have learned afterwards.
Nowadays, learning processes in companies revolve around the moment-of-apply. Solving problems and learning something new go hand in hand.
Thinking in terms of the 5-Moments-of-Need requires a complete rethinking of knowledge transfer and learning. Clear workflows must be defined in companies for this purpose. The same applies to strategy processes.
AskDelphi - the digital learning ecosystem based on the 5-Moments-of-Need
AskDelphi is the platform we used to build the StrategyFrame®. The entire tool focuses very strongly on doing. The relevant thing is the task, i.e. the context is set based on the problem and not on the existing knowledge.
The knowledge is added to the doing only in the second step. The users themselves therefore decide how much additional knowledge they need to be able to perform a task. Depending on the strategy level of the users, learning can be faster or slower.
If, for example, a new employee is to be onboarded, he or she can click through the StrategyFrame® at will and make entries immediately if necessary.
The difference to a classic training course is that the user can decide for himself or herself, based on his or her own prior knowledge, how much knowledge he or she needs to actually be able to perform a task.
The tool gives those responsible for strategy in the company everything they need to be able to lead strategy processes.
AskDelphi has already been successfully used internationally and in various areas for more than 7 years, e.g. at Bayer AG, Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe, Colgate, McKinsey and Meta.
The program makes knowledge applicable and imparts practical know-how with concrete instructions for action.
What is AskDelphi based on technologically and how secure is the company data there?
From the beginning, Microsoft Azure was used as a cloud service provider. The program is hosted in Western Europe in compliance with data protection laws and no data flows elsewhere. This ensures legally compliant operation.
It was also ensured that the platform integrates very well with other Microsoft services and existing enterprise IT environments through the use of Microsoft Cloud Services.
Simple and straightforward: Integration of the digital strategy tool into the corporate IT environment
Individual teams are integrated directly into the platform so that internal and external communications can connect cleanly and seamlessly, which is typically done through Microsoft Teams.
The integration takes place conveniently via single sign-on, so that the platform can be used directly, even if you are an external user.
The StrategyFrame® can be used for strategy workshops and strategy analyses and enables the results to be displayed and communicated (for example as a PDF) so that the strategy can also be lived.
In addition, the StrategyFrame® enables progress tracking and it provides strategy impulses again and again.
What is there to consider technically if you are interested in the StrategyFrame®?
The good news is: not much! StrategyFrame® is a software-as-a-service solution. The only thing you need is a working online access and a current internet browser. The tool does the rest.
The mindset in the company is important. There should be an awareness that change will be implemented consistently and along a common approach. This means that transformation also takes place in the employees - an organization should have this intention.
The StrategyFrame® is a digital strategy tool and a technical learning platform for the implementation of ideas. Strategy is not just invented with it, but employees are taken along on the journey. A motivated strategy team that has confidence in the company and the organization plays an essential role in this.
