“STRATEGEO” BERARTI :
“ MERENCANAKAN UNTUK
MENGHANCURKAN MUSUH MELALUI PEMANFAATAN
SUMBER DAYA SECARA EFEKTIF “
STRATEGI ADALAH PENDEKATAN POLA PIKIR,
PERENCANAAN DAN PENGAMBILAN KEPUTUSAN
DALAM SITUASI BISNIS YANG MENGHARUSKAN
MANAJER UNTUK MENGETAHUI, MEMAHAMI,
MENERIMA DAN MENDUKUNG MISI ORGANISASI,
ATAU UNIT DI DALAM ORGANISASI, DAN
MENGHUBUNGKAN MISI TERSEBUT DENGAN
LINGKUNGAN DITEMPAT KEPUTUSAN-KEPUTUSAN
TERSEBUT AKAN DIIMPLEMENTASIKAN.
“DRIVING FORCE” DI BALIK POLA PIKIR, PERENCANAAN
DAN MANAJEMEN STRATEGIS ADALAH MISI
ORGANISASI.
MANAJEMEN STRATEGIS ADALAH KEGIATAN KOLEKTIF YANG
MENYANGKUT PEMAHAMAN TENTANG HAKEKAT DAN
IMPLIKASI DARI PERUBAHAN EKSTERNAL, KEMAMPUAN
UNTUK MENGEMBANGKAN STRATEGI YANG EFEKTIF DALAM
MENGHADAPI PERUBAHAN, DAN KEMAUAN SERTA
KEMAMPUAN UNTUK MENGELOLA SECARA AKTIF
MOMENTUM ORGANISASI
SUATU KEHARUSAN BAGI MANAJER RUMAH SAKIT, UNTUK
MEMAHAMI PERUBAHAN-PERUBAHAN YANG TERJADI DI
LINGKUNGANNYA; MEREKA TIDAK HANYA RESPONSIF
TERHADAP PERUBAHAN TETAPI HARUS MAMPU
MENCIPTAKAN MASA DEPAN
MANAJEMEN STRATEGIS DISUSUN SEBAGAI PENDEKATAN ATAU
FILOSOFI UNTUK MENGELOLA ORGANISASI YANG SANGAT
KOMPLEKS
ELEMEN DARI MANAJEMEN STRATEGIS
PENDEKATAN MANAJEMEN STRATEGIS
PADA ORGANISASI YANG KOMPLEKS SEPERTI RUMAH SAKIT,
DALAM MELAKSANAKAN MANAJEMEN STRATEGIS DIPERLUKAN
PENDEKATAN ANALITIS MAUPUN PENDEKATAN KEDARURATAN (
EMERGENT/CONTINGENCY) :
– PENDEKATAN ANALITIK ATAU RASIONAL BERGANTUNG PADA
PENGEMBANGAN LANGKAH-LANGKAH ATAU PROSES YANG LOGIS
(LINEAR THINKING)
– MODEL EMERGENT, BERGANTUNG PADA PEMIKIRAN INTUITIF,
KEPEMIMPINAN, DAN PEMBELAJARAN DAN MERUPAKAN BAGIAN
DARI MANAJEMEN
KEDUA PENDEKATAN INI DIBUTUHKAN DAN DIPANDANG SEBAGAI
SATU “SINGLE MODEL”
PENDEKATAN ANALITIS DAPAT DISAMAKAN DENGAN
“PETA”,SEDANGKAN MODEL EMERGENT MERUPAKAN
“KOMPAS”NYA

synergy
Webster (1991) defines synergy as
the action of two or more substances,
organs, or organisms to achieve an effect
of which each is individually incapable.
Synergy can be defined as the
breakthroughs in thinking and action that
are produced when a collaborative
process successfully combines the
complementary knowledge, skills, and
resources of a group of participants
(Lasker, Weiss, and Miller, 2000; Fried and Rundall, 1994; Gray, 1998;
Mattesich and Monsey, 1992; Richardson and Allegrante, 2000).
Synergism, in the world of people, is sometimes
used to reference a team.
In other words, the effects of synergism are always
interdependent (Corning, 1996) and the result of
cooperation.
synergy is the close coordination of efforts and resources of
individuals working together so that the outcome
or performance of the whole is greater than the
sum of the parts (PathQuest, 2001).
components of synergy
There are some components of synergy that
must be followed in order to make it effective,
especially in the arena of health care.
Some of these elements are :
- establishing a clear purpose,
- listening actively by focusing on the
individual who is speaking, and
- having a sympathetic consciousness of another’s
distress and a desire to alleviate that distress.
- flexibility and openness to another
person’s viewpoint
for the phenomenon of synergy to function
effectively, members must speak clearly to
personal points and perspectives while
acknowledging that they are, merely, a
personal perspective.
There may be times, as well, that team
members may have to agree to disagree
agreeably when their perspectives differ.
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND SYNERGY
A partnership creates synergy by
combining the complementary knowledge,
skills, and resources of different people
and organizations.
At a practical level, the limited capacity of
partnerships to create synergy appears to
be related to three factors:
(1) who is involved in the partnership;
(2) how they are involved; and
(3) how well the leadership and
management of the partnership support
the interaction of the partners.
Who is Involved in the Partnership
The people and organizations involved in a partnership are the building
blocks of synergy.
the community stakeholders involved in synergistic partnerships often go
well beyond the "usual suspects," including :
- service providers
- people who use services,
- youth and low-income residents who are directly affected by problems,
- formal and informal community leaders,
- academics in different disciplines,
- government agencies,
- schools,
- businesses, and
- faith-based organizations
Together, a broad array of participants can:
* Obtain more accurate information (e.g., about the
concerns and priorities of people in the community):
* See the "big picture" (e.g., appreciate how different
services, programs, and policies in the community relate
to each other and to the problems the partnership is
trying to address);
* Break new ground (e.g., combine statistical and
qualitative information to get a better understanding of
the root causes of problems and discover innovative
approaches to solving problems); and
* Understand the local context (e.g., appreciate the
values, politics, assets, and history of the local
environment and use this information to identify
strategies that are most likely to work in that
environment.
How Partners Are Involved
Two types of partnerships:
- the "lead agency" model and
- the "community engagement" model
The "lead agency" model refers to partnerships
that are established to help a public- or privatesector organization carry out a predetermined
program.
These kinds of partnerships are quite
common in the health and human services areas
but, unfortunately, have a very limited capacity to
create synergy regardless of how diverse the
participants are.
In the "community engagement" model, a broad array of
community stakeholders work together in all phases
of the partnership's work-understanding the problem,
developing plans, taking collective action, and refining
the partnership's actions over time.
The "community engagement" model has a much
greater potential to create synergy than the "lead
agency" model because diverse participants have an
opportunity to influence the thinking and plans of the
partnership as well as its actions.
As a result, a broad array of community stakeholders
can create new ideas and strategies together and the
way the group ultimately understands issues and the
actions it takes to address issues are usually very
different from the way any single participant in the
partnership started out.
Leadership and Management of Partnerships
The kinds of leadership and management
capacities that synergistic partnerships
require go beyond those involved in
coordinating services or running a
program or organization.
Consequently, these capacities differ from
the leadership and management that most
people have been exposed to or have
been trained to provide.
What does the leadership of a partnership need to do
to enable a diverse group of participants to
create synergy and, thus, make the most of
their collaborative efforts?
reach out to and recruit a broad range of community
stakeholders, providing the partnership with the
perspective, skills, and resources that it needs.
inspire and motivate participants by articulating what they
can accomplish together and how their joint work will
benefit not only the community but also each of them
individually.
facilitate a collaborative process that empowers
participants by assuring that they have real influence in
the way the partnership address problems that affect their
lives.
help participants from different backgrounds develop
relationships with each other and engage in ongoing
meaningful discourse.
foster respect, trust, inclusiveness, and
openness in the partnership and need to help
the participants develop a commonly
understood jargon-free language.
create an environment in which differences
of opinion can be voiced.
create something new and valuable together
by stimulating them to challenge
conventional wisdom and look at things
differently, by relating and synthesizing their
different ideas, and by finding effective ways
to combine their complementary skills and
resources.
