Having invested a lot of time and energy in developing your Strategic Plan by ensuring that it is 100% fit for purpose. The next key element is communicating and implementing the strategy and its initiatives and projects. It is at this critical stage where a lot of organisations often fall down. These failures are due to some crucial strategic delivery fundamental’s not being considered, which can lead to a negative return on the time invested in developing the plan in the first place.
These tend to sit around the following 9 key areas:
- The commitment of the senior management team is not pressure tested and there is no clarity of ownership
- Incorrect people chosen to manage the BSC implementation process
- No training needs analysis (TNA) conducted for the SMT and other employees responsible for front-line delivery of the BSC
- Project planners for the initiatives have not been fully completed
- Impact assessment of each initiative and projects are not assessed thoroughly
- Job descriptions are not revisited and re-aligned to the new strategy or, they are over complicated
- Incorrect leadership styles used during the change process
- Communication of the strategy does not RESONATE with employees and is not timely
- Managers not understanding the impact of change on a workforce and how to manage the process effectively, which if not handled correctly can seriously extends the time between moving from our current position to our future state
Each one of the above areas/actions are critical to the success of your strategy and neglecting just one or two can lead to negative outcomes.

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.
