It's All About Implementation
As many of you know, strategic planning takes time to gain the alignment you need, and it's a challenge to finalize all the details. Unfortunately, the plan is the easy part!

Statistics show too many companies fail at putting the plan into action and moving to the implementing phase. We get stuck waiting for perfection and all too often "put it on the shelf."

Less than 15% of companies track strategic objectives.

Studies show if companies don't track goals, then they are less likely to achieve them. Our vision at Partners in Change is 100% Implementation by Our Clients. We focus on the implementation phase and have developed the Implementation Checklist showing Monthly, Quarterly and Annual activities. To help facilitate implementation success, we highly recommend you download and use our free Implementation checklist.

We also recommend these three tips:
  1. Establish your own implementation schedule and consider 3 distinct leadership teams: weekly Executive Team, monthly Strategic Team and monthly Operational Team. 
  2. Develop formal agendas and ensure teams are prepared with data and follow-ups.
  3. Review and adjust the plan often. The strategic plan should be a living document and updated at least quarterly.
