Strategic Planning is often the most difficult and frustrating process regularly undertaken by management.
But it can also be the most rewarding when you know has been conducted with both vigour and rigour, and when what you have at the end of the process is properly documented, your people are prepared to 'own' it, and the plan is readily executable.
Planning the execution is just as important as creating the plan in the first place. In fact, execution is where most organisations depart from the plan and do something different, or nothing at all.
In a landmark article "Why CEOs Fail" published in Fortune magazine (Vol. 139, No. 12, June 21, 1999), authors Ram Charan and Geoffrey Colvin canvassed the range of reasons leading to the untimely departure of the CEOs of a range of companies in the Fortune Top 200.
Invariably, it wasn't all about getting the strategy wrong. Around 70-80% of the time, the vanquished CEOs were responsible for plans just not getting executed. Or, if they did get the execution done, it was not done well enough to fulfil the objectives set down in the strategic plan. Non-execution, or bad execution, both are avoidable with a proper approach and robust execution framework.
