Strategy Implementation
Overview
Effective Strategy Execution in the Philippines
At some point visionary strategies and planned initiatives need to move past the blueprint stage and transition into tangible, operational reality. While it is paramount that the strategy be aligned to business goals, the same can be said for how it is implemented.
The Philippines business environment has some local challenges that complicate strategy execution for businesses. They include bureaucratic hurdles, regulatory uncertainties, infrastructure limitations (transportation, communication, and power supply) and, on occasion, a slow judicial system that may impede timely resolution of commercial disputes, which can derail strategic initiatives.
Key Client Challenges
Typically, our clients tell us they face the following Strategy Implementation challenges:
- How do we ensure that our strategy implementation transitions seamlessly from a conceptual blueprint stage to tangible results?
- What systems and processes are we lacking to ensure our implementation delivers sustainable change?
- How do we address resistance to new ways of working and promote buy-in at all levels?
- Do we have the necessary skills internally to execute our strategy, or do we need to invest in external training and new hires?
- How do we ensure our strategy is effectively communicated throughout the implementation stages to ensure solutions are fully adopted?
- How do we continuously motivate and engage employees throughout strategy implementation to cultivate continuous improvement?
The following strategic execution actions require particular attention in the Philippines:
Maximise Resource Use
Innovate to optimise resource allocation, overcoming limitations in funding and infrastructure.
Strengthen Oversight
Implement effective monitoring systems such as Management Control Systems, goals, KPIs, and performance dashboards to close the strategy-to-execution gap.
Develop Key Skills
Invest in training to address skill shortages and enhance workforce capabilities.
Leverage Data for Decisions
Use enhanced statistical systems to gain actionable insights that drive informed decision-making at national and subnational levels, ensuring strategies succeed in the Philippine market.
A key factor of successful strategy implementation is to closely involve all staff in the transformation journey. Initial pushback is natural in any change initiative, and thus effective communication of the benefits to promote buy-in at every level, and across functions within the organisation is required.
At Renoir, we believe this is the key to unlocking sustainable change – an aligned vision implemented by empowering employees to become change champions, taking on ownership and accountability – with a holistic understanding of their roles and the value they bring within a larger strategy.
“Having a plan and measuring with factual data driven KPIs, the attainment of the plan is one thing. However, since results are largely [affected by] behavioral issues, it is of the highest priority to also measure people’s behavior with data driven KPIs.”
