Implementation

A Fortune Magazine survey in 1999 found that less than 10% of strategies effectively formulated are effectively executed. This is exactly why we provide implementation capability to assist our clients to effectively implement their strategic plans. While project management ensures you are doing things right, effective programme management ensures you are doing the right things to achieve your strategic goals. We therefore ensure initiatives are prioritised and implementation timelines are managed with respect to dependencies, resource and associated cost.

Depending on the requirements of each client organisation, our implementation approach might include an examination of the operating model to ensure core process, capability, structure and systems will most effectively support implementation of the strategy. When the optimal operating model is determined, we work with you to determine where efforts will be most fruitful for your business. Then we create a programme plan that can be effectively implemented by your people.

Implementation is one of the most difficult aspects of any planning process. We can assess your organisation’s ability of successfully operationalising your plans and assist with putting together your strategic programme of work. We can also provide you with coaching and the means to execute and manage this programme on an on-going basis and we are available to directly lead the implementation of your strategy if required.

Business operating model development

Once we understand your strategy and goals for your business, we can assist in the development of your operating model to ensure that you are effectively set up to achieve your strategies. This includes a review of the core process, capability, structure and systems that exist within the organisation, an analysis of how effective they will be in achieving your goals, and recommendations as to any changes that might need to be made.

Programme and project management

Programme management ensures you are doing the right things given your strategic priorities; project management ensures that you are delivering things in an effective manner. We provide capability in both of these areas to develop, establish and support your organisation to effectively execute your strategies.
