BUSN 620 Forum WK 6

So far we have dealt with strategic concepts and ideas. The notion of
where the organization is going may open long debates on whether the proposed
direction is “right” or “best.” Similarly, the SWOT
analysis and the survey of the external environment looked at ideas that might
prove useful.
The main issue for this week is developing and implementing a strategic plan.
The plan itself does two things. First, it formalizes the direction in which we
are going. Second, it adds all of the tactical or operational matters that are
needed. So, a strategic plan is comprehensive. If we are going to Berlin, to
use the Patton example, we need to spell out how many men, how many tanks, how
much ammunition, etc. We also need to determine when we will reach certain milestones
along the way. If we have to cross rivers, we need to identify the equipment we
will need. When the full strategic and operational plan is put together, we are
ready to roll it out.
Implementation means that the plan — the design, the summary of our best
thinking — is now ready to become a fact. All of the key players need to know
what the plan calls for. The organization needs to release the resources that
are necessary to make the plan happen.
Can you share personal experiences on the significance of successful
implementation of a strategic plan.
