To be agile and resilient in a rapidly changing market, it is crucial that strategy implementation is constantly updated and successfully executed. It often turns out that the elaboration of a strategic plan and an organisation’s mission can be achieved quite easily. Successful strategy implementation is the tricky part.
Human Insight developed a practical approach to implement strategy faster and better. This through a clear implementation plan, the right insights about your organisation’s capabilities and understandable follow-up steps.
At Human Insight, we call this the Mission-Driven Priorities approach. Do you want to efficiently close the gap between your strategy and its implementation? Get in touch with us!
With the MPD approach, you learn to formulate the strategic objectives with a clear mission in a simple, time- and cost-efficient and very active and positive way. Within that implementation plan is included what and how each team member can directly contribute. This approach makes it clear to each team member what his or her contributions are and those of colleagues. This sets in motion cooperation that is clear to everyone.
Going through such an MDP process usually takes three days the first time. When repeated annually, the process can be reduced to one day. Mission-Driven Priorities is cost-saving because not more, but ultimately even less time is spent on tactical and strategic decision-making than what already happens normally.
An AEM-cube profile with the right strategic diversity usually guarantees that an MDP runs effectively and efficiently.
When you know what people are doing, your strategy can be executed faster.
To achieve the mission of your organisation, result areas of business units and teams must be well aligned.
The approach provides an accessible way to assess the status of progress at any time.
This unity ensures that teams can easily repeat their strategic roadmap.
Do you already have a great strategic plan on the table? Then you probably want to get started on this quickly. However, a strategy is nothing without good execution. The following steps will get you off to a good start with your roadmap for effective strategy implementation.
Make a concrete implementation plan
Besides a strategic plan, you also need an implementation plan. But what should be included in an implementation plan? First of all you lay down in concrete and detailed terms which processes and activities are needed to achieve strategic objectives.
Clear communication of your new strategy
If your team doesn't know what the new strategy is, they won't be able to implement it. Clearly communicate all objectives, their benefits and responsibilities for each person and include it in your implementation plan.
What are the capabilities of your team or organisation
Who are on your team or organisation? And how do they handle change? What are their talents and where do they contribute? All questions that answer whether you have the capabilities to execute your strategy efficiently.
Make a clear planning
Make a clear planning of the implementation. This will help you keep the objectives measurable and maintain a clear course of your strategy implementation.
Human Insight’s MDP approach is used by organisations working with multidisciplinary teams. Our approach makes it easier for them to:
The application of our framework and associated tools is designed to help your people perform better in their areas of expertise, assess what is happening in the value chain and work better with their colleagues.
The MDP approach can be facilitated by Human Insight, but can also be taught to create internal capacity within the organisation and an iterative process that enables efficient strategy execution.
A good strategy will only be really good if it is implemented efficiently, the capabilities used and needed are known and adjustments are made in time. With the Mission-Driven Priorities approach, you get practical insights and tools to make every strategy implementation run correctly.
