Strategic Implementation Addresses
Strategic implementation is critical to a company’s success,

addressing the who, where, when, and how of reaching the
desired goals and objectives. It focuses on the entire
organization. Implementation occurs after environmental scans,
SWOT analyses, and identifying strategic issues and goals.
Implementation involves assigning individuals to tasks and
timelines that will help an organization reach its goals .
Basic Features
A successful implementation plan will have a very visible

leader, such as the CEO, as he communicates the vision,
excitement and behaviors necessary for achievement. Everyone
in the organization should be engaged in the plan. Performance
measurement tools are helpful to provide motivation and allow
for follow up. Implementation often includes a strategic map,
which identifies and maps the key ingredients that will direct
performance. Such ingredients include finances, market, work
environment, operations, people and partners.

and actions of the organization to achieve the objectives . Simply
put, strategy implementation is the technique through which the
firm develops, utilizes and integrates its structure, culture,
resources, people and control system to follow the strategies to

strategies into action successfully.

essential activities.
3. Developing policies which encourage strategy.
4. Such policies and programs are employed which helps in
continuous improvement.
5. Combining the reward structure, for achieving the results.
6. Using strategic leadership.
The process of strategy implementation has an important role to
play in the company’s success. The process takes places after
environmental scanning, SWOT analyses and ascertaining the
strategic issues.
Prerequisites of Strategy Implementation
 Institutionalization of Strategy: First of all the
strategy is to be institutionalized, in the sense that the
one who framed it should promote or defend it in front of
the members, because it may be undermined.
 Developing proper organizational climate:
Organizational climate implies the components of the
internal environment, that includes the cooperation,
development of personnel, the degree of commitment
and determination, efficiency, etc., which converts the
purpose into results.
 Formulation of operating plans: Operating plans refers to
the action plans, decisions and the programs, that take place
regularly, in different parts of the company. If they are framed
to indicate the proposed strategic results, they assist in
attaining the objectives of the organization by concentrating
on the factors which are significant.
 Developing proper organisational structure:
Organization structure implies the way in which different parts
of the organisation are linked together. It highlights the
relationships between various designations, positions and
roles. To implement a strategy, the structure is to be designed
as per the requirements of the strategy.
 Periodic Review of Strategy: Review of the strategy is to
be taken at regular intervals so as to identify whether the
strategy so implemented is relevant to the purpose of the
organisation. As the organization operates in a dynamic
environment, which may change anytime, so it is essential to
take a review, to know if it can fulfil the needs of the
organization.
Even the best-formulated strategies fail if they are not

implemented in an appropriate manner. Further, it should be
kept in mind that, if there is an alignment between strategy and
other elements like resource allocation, organizational structure,
work climate, culture, process and reward structure, then only
the effective implementation is possible.
