Strategy and Business Plan Execution - Manchester

Business Plans can be as simple or complicated as a business likes however, unless they are implemented into the business then they will only be a desktop or theoretical exercise.

Job description

Most executive management teams understand their responsibility is to increase business profits but forget the plan is a failure unless it is properly implemented. Most Education establishments teach you the theory of strategic business plan but forget to show you how to execute the plan. In order for a strategic business plan to achieve its potential, it must be translated into determined execution and there are six core execution drivers.

These “six” core execution drivers must be built into the plan or it is doomed for failure. This is the number one thing that is needed in any business, and learning this theory in a real live business can make you invaluable to any company, employer or business wanting to grow their business. 

(1)   Clarity: employees must clearly know the strategic direction, goals and priorities.

(2)   Commitment: employees must buy into the goals.

(3)    Translation: employees must know what they must individually do to achieve the strategic goals.

(4)   Enabling:  employees must have the structure, tools, recourses and freedom to do the job well.

(5)   Synergy: employees must work well together to create result greater than the sum of their individual contributions.

(6)   Accountability: employees and managers must regularly hold themselves and each other accountable to their commitments.
