Summary:
Tactical planning takes strategy and puts it into action. Three key components of a basic tactical plan include action plans, measurements and an education and training plan for department employees, according to Steve Van Remortel, a consultant, speaker, certified behavioral analyst and president of SM Advisors Inc., a strategic planning and talent management consulting firm.
Reasons given for the importance of tactical plans include: a result in company-wide involvement, buy-in and accountability. When these factors increase, so too will active participation in putting the strategic plan into action.
Article Quote:
“Each action plan is developed to achieve an organizational goal, and must have an owner and a prioritized completion date. Because accountability is so important, all action plans should be reviewed at least monthly.”
Successful Implementation of tactical plans requires a lot of work and involvement. Some individuals may be resistant to change while others embrace it. Striking the right balance sometimes requires coaching to get a strategic plan into action. As each department completes its action plans working “on” the business, instead of “in” the business, the success of the organization will likely accelerate.
Accountability is by far one of the biggest components in successful strategy implementation. A good strategy software lets everyone see who’s responsible for what, when it’s to be completed, and at what stage of completion the task is.
