Synopsis

Most companies now have invested in strategic plans yet many boards are disappointed with the results of their work, which falls far short of their plans. Most managers in this situation blame the lack of results on problems with implementation - they have failed to make their plans actually happen. Without well thought through implementation even the most brilliant strategic plans will fail. This step-by-step guide to making strategic plans happen shows how to develop a detailed action plan which specifies who is to do what, when, with whose help and with what resources in order to achieve the fulfilment of the plan. It gives advice on creating the fundamental changes required in most companies to adopt new strategies and how to maintain the changes over time. It also identifies the right people to implement the plans and build the understanding, commitment and discipline needed to ensure success. The book provides a blueprint for managers to successfully implement their strategic plans.
