 The devil is in the details. Even a great strategic plan can be destroyed by poor implementation. Successful implementation requires an understanding of the big picture, as well as all the sequential steps that lead to it.
Implementing Strategy gives you a broad view of implementation and a thorough understanding of each piece of the implementation process so you can make more informed decisions on efficiency and effectiveness.
Program Focus
• A model of strategy implementation
• Managing strategic change
• Strategy and organizational structure
• Integrating short- and long-term operating objectives
• Managing human resources
• Developing effective incentives and controls
• Implementing diversification strategies
Approach
We focus on looking ahead by using real-time case studies with current strategy implementation techniques. You will get a broad perspective of overall strategy formulation and implementation. You will develop clear, measurable incentives and tie them directly to strategic performance. Very few MBA courses address cross-functional issues related to implementation or the framework for thinking about implementation; this course is designed to fill that gap. Faculty will also be available to give feedback on a business plan you bring.
Program Outcomes
- Integrate strategy formulation and implementation processes.
- Ensure that corporate structure is in alignment with current corporate strategies.
- Increase your organization’s ability to adapt to change by providing appropriate structures, objectives, and incentives for implementing your strategy.
- Assess the demands that different strategies make on the organization and the investments they require.
- Understand how organizational culture affects implementation and how to manage change and conflict effectively.
Participant Profile
Even managers with MBAs and many years of experience in formulating strategy can learn the finer aspects of putting strategy into action. Anyone moving into a position that will require strategic planning will also have the opportunity to consider the whole process of developing and implementing strategy.
