Situation

Oregon Catholic Press (OCP) is a 100-year-old publisher of liturgical music and worship aides. Technology is revolutionizing the publishing business while demographics are rapidly changing the organization’s primary markets. OCP needed to change its approach while maintaining its core values in order to retain its place as the market leader in North America.

Management decided to take a fresh look at their strategic drivers.

Solution

Steaming Kettle facilitated organization-wide employee input into the strategic process.

Through a carefully designed questionnaire, OCP identified and prioritized new external threats and opportunities, and gained new perspective on its changing internal strengths and weaknesses. 

Steaming Kettle helped sort, prioritize, and distill the inputs, as well as communicate the finding back to employees.

Key Accomplishments

These efforts have helped OCP orient a new team of executives to the challenges facing the enterprise as well as the resources available to address the challenges.
