STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT

Strategy development is a question-based process: Where are we now? Where do we like to go? How do we get there?”- Peter Edelmann, Senior Executive president- Voith Turbo.

Implementing a strategy is as essential to success as developing a strategy. The essential elements to strategy realization are:

Motivational leadership – concentrates on achieving sustained performance through personal growth, values-based leadership and planning that recognizes human dynamics.
Turning strategy into action – entails a phased approach, linking identified performance factors with strategic initiatives and projects designed to develop and optimise departmental and individual activities.
Performance management – involving the construction of organizational processes and capabilities necessary to achieve performance through people delivering results.
There are simple ways to judge whether the strategy realisation process is working- obviously look for business results and progress on the delivery of targets and KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators).
