Reducing the costs of strategy implementation
Strategy implementation is a costly process, because it usually needs people to work across many functional, cultural and process barriers to achieve the strategy goal. Who is involved, when, and how, largely depends on the strategy being implemented, so flexible solutions that meet peoples’ needs and reduce costs are rare.
The root cause of many costs is people not being able to bridge the gap between high level strategy tasks and what they need to do, when and with whom. Without knowing what to actually do, people are uncertain about how to contribute, so they usually wait for clarity. This usually means that a strategy has to be driven to grab people’s attention.
The usual means of engaging people is to employ people to intensively manage the strategy to ensure that all stakeholders are kept informed about what is happening and what they need to contribute when and with whom. The bottom line is that this engagement process (whether done by internal or external consultants) is expensive in terms of fees for external providers or lost productivity of organization members.
Many organizations employ project teams to facilitate strategy implementation and to engage with stakeholders. Unfortunately project management is a centralized method that requires a lot of manual interaction to effectively engage with people across organizations, who are involved in many concurrent activities.
TASKey has found that a distributed management method makes it easier to engage with and build ownership with the people who need to contribute. In simple terms, if everyone manages their part of the strategy by doing the right thing at the right time with the right people, minimum time will be wasted and costly overheads will be reduced.
TASKey has developed and validated a simple method that makes it easy for people to engage with a strategy and work together to achieve the strategy goal. Even though the distributed management method is relatively simple, it needs to be supported by web and mobile software (called Me2Team) to achieve significant cost reductions and faster implementations.
The core of the method is a simple one page plan template that links tasks via lists of actions to personal To Do lists. One page plans are organized in a tree structure to create continuous links to high level strategy tasks. Visibility, security and privacy are managed by team membership. Me2Team software organizes links between strategy tasks and personal To Do lists; synchronizes tasks, actions, teams, and ToDo’s; keeps users informed; and reports progress and other critical decision making information.
The Me2Team distributed management method and browser software makes it easier for all stakeholders to do what they have to do to make work flow. Most stakeholders simply tick off To Do’s as complete, while the software handles incredibly complex coordination 24x7 (normally handled manually) with ease in the background.
Compared to the cost of strategy implementation facilitators, and the coordination time and effort normally wasted in achieving a strategy goal, the annual subscription fee and online training for Me2Team web and mobile software is minimal.
