Strategy Execution Solutions

Strategy Execution is the process of implementing the organization’s strategy. It involves activities and processes designed to systematically coordinate and align resources and actions with mission, vision and strategy, enabling organizations to lead and communicate effectively in a climate of teamwork, continuous improvement, innovation, and change. In most organizations, there are gaps between the development of strategy, release of the strategic plan, and its successful implementation. BSI has worked with over 200 organizations worldwide on strategy development and implementation to close those gaps by focusing on five imperatives that are critical to successful strategy execution: Strategy Imperatives

Leadership and Governance
Aligning and Operationalizing Strategy
Project/Portfolio Management
Performance Analysis, Reporting and Informing
Creating a Performance Culture

Strategy Execution Training

Two versions of Strategy Execution Training will be available, both as public training and as on-site training – a 3-day Strategy Execution Associate course, and a 5-day Strategy Execution Professional course. The course program is organized around five strategy execution “Imperatives” – areas that we and other experts have found challenges with strategy implementation and where focused attention can mitigate the challenges and provide a greater chance of successful strategy implementation and improved organization performance excellence. The program recognizes that “one size does not fit all”, and that each organization is unique requires a customized Roadmap to succeed. The first three days of the course cover the basics of strategy execution, and the last two days cover advanced topics and require the completion of a Roadmap project for each delegate.

Strategy Execution Consultation

Every client’s strategy execution maturity level is different. For this reason, Strategy Execution consulting services are designed to support each client’s unique needs – those who are just getting started to understand their strategy execution capabilities to strategically mature organizations trying to adopt best practices and make continuous improvements to their processes. The end goal is to leave the client with observations, specific recommendations, and tools and techniques that can be applied to improve organization excellence, and to ensure that performance management becomes and remains a formal enterprise capability
