Strategy Execution
Does your organization have a strategic plan? Is your plan fully integrated into the business processes of your organization and its operations, and fully known by your employees?
Unfortunately, it’s a widely known fact that organizations go through a cyclical and extensive efforts to create strategic plans, but then ends up in the form of untouched and un-used documents, failing to materialize as a part of the organization or its people. Research indicates that 90% of organizations fail to effectively execute their strategic plans.
A volunteer research team called the Business Research and Analysis Group (BRAG) that, over the past 15 years, has done world-wide studies on a number of current business practices, including the adoption and use of performance scorecards, and issues in costing and profitability. Their on-line survey shows that in 2012, though a higher percentage from previous study that stood at 10% successful implementation, still stands only at 40% success rate.
There are many reasons for this, but, but the primary reason is that the proper implementation requires allocated resources, and a distinct methodology and process to ensure that its implementation is successful, and that the objectives and goals derived from the strategy are achieved.
Given the importance of strategy and its execution, companies today are increasingly concerned and are looking for ways to effectively execute their strategies.
The first major reason is that the management reports are not sensitive enough to monitor the implementation strategies, thus the strategic manager not fully aware of what is happening. Hence the performance of existing structure is not monitored properly, and as a result control mechanisms may be ineffective.
Second, implementing strategy involves change, which in turn involves uncertainty and risk. Therefore, motivating managers to make changes is a key determinant.
Finally, management systems (such as compensation schemes, management development, communications systems and so on) are often in place because of past strategies; they are rarely tuned or revised to meet the needs of new ones.
