Strategy Implementation (Karachi)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Once an organization creates a strategy to meet its goals, implementation is the next step for successful execution. It is the process that turns strategies and plans into actions in order to accomplish strategic objectives and goals. According to Fortune Magazine, nine out of ten organizations fail to implement their strategic plan for many reasons:

• 60% of organizations don’t link strategy to budgeting
• 75% of organizations don’t link employee incentives to strategy
• 86% of business owners and managers spend less than one hour per month discussing strategy
• 95% of the typical workforce doesn’t understand their organization’s strategy.

Therefore, implementing the strategic plan is as important, or even more important, than the strategy. It requires the participation of the entire organization.

This program will acquaint you with key aspects for successfully implementing a strategic plan.  The program also includes reasons of failure in implementing the strategy.
