To capitalize on the benefits of your company’s transformation, whether it’s in the realm of business, digital, or another aspect, it’s essential to be able to execute it. Of course, it begins by defining a robust strategy and then mobilizing the necessary resources. But perhaps most importantly, the transformation must be effectively executed to ensure its success and efficacy. Don’t you think so?
The execution part of the transformation is the most difficult and critical part. This is usually where the top management transfers the responsibilities to the VP and middle management to make it happen. The reality is that this transfer is quite sensitive and complex, and this is where problems and divergence start…invisible at the beginning.
Don’t assume that hiring a top strategic consulting firm guarantees immunity for your organization from such challenges. Typically, these firms mainly focus on establishing the project management office (PMO) for the transformation, rather than actively aiding the VP and middle management in executing it. Wondering why? It’s often because they lack firsthand operational leadership experience.
Our suggestion is to hire a strategy execution firm rather than a strategic consulting firm (or a system integrator) for your transformational endeavors. The distinction lies in their expertise in implementation and ensuring success. With experience as operational leaders, they possess the acumen to collaborate effectively with VPs, middle management, and operational teams, truly driving success rather than mere completion.
Conclusion
You’re well-informed about what needs to be done next. And the cherry on top? It’s going to be more cost-effective! Isn’t that wonderful?
