Strategic Excellence in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industries is a comprehensive and dynamic process that involves the application of strategic thinking to create a strategy that is equipped with the flexibility to adapt to evolving circumstances and drive a culture of optimal behaviors. This approach is infused with the insights and thought leadership of the Shingo Model and the scientific principles of Lean Six Sigma. It goes beyond the traditional approach to strategic planning by emphasizing the effective execution of the strategy through the integration of collective ownership and organizational alignment across the entire process.

Over the years, significant advancements in strategic planning and management have been made, driven by continuous learning and practical experience. However, many of these advancements have primarily emerged in the manufacturing sector and have not been readily translated to the A/E/C (Architectural / Engineering / Construction) industry. This book aims to bridge that gap by incorporating current best practices from leading organizations across the globe industry and presenting them in a user-friendly and accessible manner for A/E/C organizations.

The process of strategic excellence in the A/E/C industry involves a multi-faceted approach. It begins with a thorough analysis of the organization's current state, including its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This analysis helps to identify the key strategic objectives that the organization needs to achieve to succeed in its competitive landscape. Once the strategic objectives are defined, a comprehensive strategy is developed that outlines the specific actions, resources, and timelines.

One of the key aspects of strategic excellence in the A/E/C industry is the emphasis on organizational alignment. This involves ensuring that all stakeholders, including employees, clients, suppliers, and other partners, are aligned with the organization's goals and objectives. It also involves creating a culture of collaboration and trust that fosters innovation and continuous improvement.

To achieve organizational alignment, A/E/C organizations need to develop effective communication channels and processes. This includes establishing clear roles.
