Strategy Implementation: Get it Right the First Time!

We all know that it is important. But, evidence suggests, that superior implementation is a challenge. A majority of organizations fail to implement their strategies successfully. Moreover, we don’t believe in simple leadership recipes or easy solutions to boost speed, impact, and performance for the desired results. And, putting more pressure on the system, asking for more detail, or developing more precise managerial processes will not get your there. It is much more subtle than that.

There is only one chance to get it right. We suggest focusing on managerial systems and corporate culture as the two enabling mechanisms for strategy implementation. The ultimate result of strategy implementation is to deliver superior result, e.g. to exceed expectations. The corporate culture guides the organization on how it delivers the results, where as systems determine what needs to be implemented. Both, culture and systems support each other for superior behaviors, actions and decisions. But, changes in managerial systems and culture are difficult, costly, and potentially risky. You only have one chance to get it right.
