The Accountability Guy®
Implementation is the process that turns strategies and plans into actions to accomplish strategic objectives and goals. Implementing your strategic plan is vital and is as essential, or even more important, than your strategy.
Critical actions move a strategic plan from a document that sits on the shelf to activities that drive business growth. Sadly, the majority of companies who have strategic plans fail to implement them.
