Strategic implementation process

The strategic implementation process includes concrete steps. There is also a document called
strategic implementation plan (SIP) which outlines the activities and decisions that are
essential for implementing the strategy. There are five strategic implementation steps:

1. Define your goals

First, the business should identify the goals that the new strategy should achieve. The
business needs to be clear about what its goal is, otherwise it will never be able to achieve
it. Moreover, it is important to think rationally and set objectives that are achievable. This
will save time spent trying to achieve unrealistic goals.

2. Do the research
Gathering all the information regarding the project and deeply analysing them. This will
allow the organization to understand its needs and evaluate possible opportunities and threats.

3. Create a strategy
Owing to the research that has been done in the previous steps, the business is now ready to
form an appropriate strategy. It is important to determine what the enterprise already has and
what else it needs. The business should think about how it can look for external resources, try
to solve any issues and then start formulating the strategy.
4. Implement the strategy
This is probably the most challenging part of the process as it is the action stage of the
strategic management process. Even though the organization might have created an excellent
strategy, it still needs to implement it. managers should make sure that the work is delegated
and everyone within the firm is made clear of their responsibilities and duties. What is more,
it is important to bear in mind that strategies might not work and therefore might need to be
restructured at some point.

5. Evaluate and control

As a final step, organisations should look back on the entire process and think about how it
went and measure the performance. Perhaps some things might have been done better and
could be improved in the future. Moreover, even though the organisation might have
succeeded it is important to keep an eye on the strategy, monitor how it is developing and
determine whether the enterprise is moving towards the goal.

The Balanced Scorecard is a strategic management framework that provides a balanced view
of an organization's performance by considering multiple perspectives beyond just financial
measures. It measures performance across four key perspectives: financial, customer, internal
processes, and learning and growth.

Here are the essential features and components of the Balanced Scorecard:

 Financial perspective: This perspective focuses on financial indicators and measures

that reflect the organization's financial health and performance. Examples include
revenue growth, profitability, return on investment, and cash flow.
 Customer perspective: This perspective looks at measures related to customer
satisfaction, loyalty, and retention. It assesses how well the organization is meeting
customer needs and delivering value. Examples include customer satisfaction scores,
customer retention rates, and market share.
 Internal process perspective: This perspective examines the internal processes and
activities critical to delivering value to customers and achieving strategic objectives. It
measures efficiency, quality, innovation, and operational excellence. Examples
include cycle time, defect rates, process improvement initiatives, and new product
development.
 Learning and growth perspective: This perspective focuses on the organization's
ability to learn, innovate, and develop its people and capabilities. It includes measures
 related to employee training and development, employee engagement, knowledge
management, and the alignment of organizational culture with strategic goals.

Change management is a systematic approach to dealing with the transition or transformation
of an organization's goals, processes or technologies. The purpose of change management is
to implement strategies for effecting change, controlling change and helping people to adapt
to change.
