WINNING WITH STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION
With less than 15 percent of strategic plans achieving successful implementation, it's no wonder organizations tire of developing strategic plans that do very little to move everyone towards an agreed to future state.
Without clear direction, organizations are forced to "muddle" through and take on much more than they are capable of and pursue initiatives that have little strategic alignment. This means wasted time and wasted resources.
"Enterprises fail at execution because they neglect the most powerful drivers of effectiveness: decision rights and information flow."
(Harvard Business Review, June 2008)
To effectively carry out strategic planning and implementation, organizations need a clear vision by understanding; "What is our true strategy" and "Where can we be most effective as an organization". In other words: Where can the organization "win"? And, what does the organization "aspire" to be, given its current target market, product base, programs and services or mandate?
Implementing strategies requires organizations to play to their strengths and align resources to those strengths. It's important to get this right. Setting a solid foundation creates the winning conditions for strategic plans to succeed.
At Phillips Douglas we help organizations understand their real purpose and identify the strengths and actions that will create sustainable changes to achieve success.
Our purpose is to create momentum in your organization. We do this by guiding discussions and simplifying the conditions for strategies to work and organizations to "win".
