Execution of strategy matters more than inspiration

In our experience, Execution matters more than the inspiration.  Great strategies and business plans require great execution.  Without effective execution, plans are worthless. Probably the most important requirement for successful implementation is the alignment of leaders and teams with the vision and what needs to be achieved.  Carefully considered and planned stakeholder management  and communication is essential. The selected approach to implementation should be customised to fit with the business or organisational context.  Implementation and project management often require different approaches, skill sets and resources at varying stages.  There are a myriad of project management approaches and processes and the best  approach will vary from one organisation and project to another.  Here is a reference to some ideas on the change implementation process and the inputs for successful execution of plans.
