This module addresses how to identify and maximise the return on your implementation investment by developing and growing the financial value of the organisation. The payoff from the organisations who succeed in strategy implementation is high as the failure rate is high.
The module learning objectives are:
This module addresses understanding the leader's role in strategy implementation. Leaders don't implement. A leader's role in strategy implementation is to drive and champion it. The employees are responsible for the implementation by taking the right actions each day. Leaders need to stay engaged throughout the implementation, constantly be inspiring, coaching their employees, and overseeing and tracking the implementation.
The module learning objectives are:
This module addresses why your business model needs to change to support strategy implementation. Adopting a new strategy translates to changing the current business model. Sometimes the changes are minor, and at other times they require a whole business model transformation, e.g. when adopting digitalization. But the business model needs to change to support the implementation.
The module learning objectives are:
This module addresses why culture drives your implementation. Culture drives the way an organisation implement its strategy. Two organisations can have the same strategy but how they implement will always be different as every organisation culture is different. Culture no longer eats strategy for breakfast because of the speed we are working today. Strategy now drives the culture in many organisations that drives the way they implement.
The module learning objectives are:
This module addresses how to manage and communicate to different stakeholders. The initial challenge is to introduce the new strategy to the whole organisation and in this module, you are introduced to how this can be effectively done by teasing internal stakeholders and having leaders recognise that the launch is only 15% of the overall implementation communication goals. Too frequently in stakeholder management, communication around the implementation, dissipate after the first six months. A heavy emphasis in this module is placed on nurturing the communications throughout the whole implementation journey.
The module learning objectives are:
This module addresses how to ensure employees are inspired to participate in the implementation. Which is not an easy challenge as the level of employees who are disengaged in their work is surprisingly high in many countries and industries. Asking employees to adopt a new strategy translates to asking them to do "more work". Why? Initially they must keep working the old way while adopting the new way. The challenge is for leaders to inspire, engage and excite their people in the implementation. When employees are committed to the implementation, they will start to take the right actions that then gains momentum and early success. We need lots of people, taking small actions to create implementation. It's also important to prepare employees with the right implementation attitude, knowledge and skills.
The module learning objectives are:
This module addresses the importance of tracking and reviewing implementation. Taking corrective action along the way is critical for success. But how do you know where you are and what action to take if you are not diligently tracking your performance, throughout the whole implementation journey. Too many leaders start off with the right intentions but somewhere between thought and actions they lose focus and commitment. Tracking performance is an essential discipline and this module focuses on ensuring the organisations has the right measures in place to manage the implementation and the discipline to constantly review the organisation performance.
