61% of organisations struggle to bridge the gap between a strategy and its implementation, while 48% of leaders review strategy implementation once a month! 

 

Coming up with the perfect game plan can be challenging, but the challenge does not end here. Implementing this plan and ensuring it is executed correctly is what most organisations fail to do. Many leaders are unable to recognize the flaw – inefficient strategy implementation. 

 

What is the lag in Strategy Implementation?

As a staggering 95% of employees remain unaware of their company’s strategy, dedication to strategy implementation often goes missing. The staff's efforts are directed towards ticking off their to-do lists, without identifying a clear direction they are aimed at. 

Strategizing and implementation are not two distinct processes, but rather overlapping endeavors. While implementing a plan, a team is likely to encounter bottlenecks, which may necessitate modifying or adjusting the strategy to achieve its goals.
