Strategy Execution

Implement
Your Strategy

Getting your strategy to paper is only the start of the work.
As even the best designed strategies will come to nothing without the ability to implement it.

Therefore, Nextrday believes in the power of execution. Strategic planning, clear roles and responsibilities, actions and deliverables.

And above all, with all the right tools, capabilities and people in place to drive successful execution of your vision and business strategy.

“Too often, strategy stops with a fancy-looking slide deck.

But strategy is 90% implementation. Without execution, your strategy is doomed to fail.”

Alexandra van der Stap

Link Strategy To Execution

Too often, strategy fails in execution. Translate strategy to implementation by outlining the strategic initiatives, tactics and actions that will enable implementation of your strategy. Ensure actions are aligned across functions, departments and regions.

Ensure the choices you make, whether on where to invest for the long run, what projects to fund, how to allocate resources, or even how to manage daily operations, are in line with your strategy implementation plan and objectives.

Ensure that all team members know the part they need to play to make your strategy happen – and why. From your executive team to every individual contributor: a great strategy to execution plan builds alignment across the entire organization.

Strategy execution is not a once-off exercise. The best implementation results will be achieved when you measure progress and track success continuously, as well as discuss success stories as well as issues with your team and involve team members in the solutions.
