The Strategic Implementation Journey (Stage 2)
4-Day Back-to-Back Programme
“Success doesn’t necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won’t win a game or a battle; the win comes from basic blocking and tackling”.
Naveen Jain (CEO Moon Express and Viome)
How this programme currently fits :
1. Strategic Planning (utilising BSC) 5-days
2. Implementing the Strategy 4-days
3. Maintaining the Strategy – Use-3-days
Designing your BSC (strategy) and implementing the process is around 50% of the process, what is now critical is the maintenance of the plan! Bearing in mind that your plan may be spread anywhere between 1 to 5 years, it will need a lot of monitoring, managing, adjusting, and constant measuring and reporting.
The natural temptation once the early implementation phase has been completed, is to quietly ‘get back to my day job’ and assume it will all just happen. The reality is that it needs to be a consistent and constant focused approach, especially from ALL the senior management team, it is that attitude which will deliver the strategic objectives.
Strategy does not have a momentum all of its own, it has to be driven!
The good news is that if you invest the time at the front end (especially within the first six months) as ‘buy in’ and commitment takes hold, the frequency of monitoring periods can start to be extended (with caution). The other good news is that if your strategic objectives included key development initiatives such as; Talent development, upskilling, staff reserve programmes and improvement of internal processes, then the pay back down the line for you will be freeing up of your functional (working in the business) time, allowing you to focus more on the strategy (working on the business).
This programme focuses on managing the performance of your people, dealing with under performance and monitoring and maintaining your BSC.
During this in-depth 3-day programme we will be covering the following key areas:
- The importance of regularly updating the progress of your BSC
- Why you need to take a flexible approach to initiatives, and potentially re-adjust your approach when necessary (Utilising Porters 5 forces, STEEPLE analysis and Porters Value Chain Analysis review)
- Monitoring the performance of departments, teams and individuals around delivery of the BSC
- How to prepare for, and hold a performance review meeting that delivers positive outcomes for all parties
- The importance of giving constructive developmental feedback
- Setting SMART objectives for continuous improvement
- Coaching skills and setting up coaching contracts
- Dealing with conflict (with and without authority) understanding the different mindsets of people when under pressure (PRISM)
- How to influence without authority
- How to recognise the ‘real’ talent in your organisation
- Quick overview of the type of talent development programmes (TDPs) that deliver real results that support your strategy
Who is Maintaining the Strategy for?
For organisations who have completed their strategic plan and have either implemented the process or are at the early stages of implementation. It is also suitable for those organisations who have implemented their strategy but have lost their momentum and wish to take a step back and assess the reasons why.

Location – Our County Hall London venue is as stunning on the inside as it is on the outside. Situated on London’s Southbank it is in a great location with breathtaking views over The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye.
We utilise the PRISM Brainmapping tool when designing, implementing and maintaining your BSC 
(strategic plan). The tool has been developed using the fast paced advances in Neuroscience and has been designed to measure behaviours of individuals and teams in the
workplace in 22 different areas, allowing us to assess the probability of a person (or teams) delivering high performance in any given role.
By understanding your own and other colleagues preferred behaviours, and how individuals’ function under pressure, as well as identifying other areas of strengths and development, it simplifies the process of selecting individuals and teams for specific roles, initiative’s or projects around your strategy.
