Most organizations develop and implement some form of a strategic plan. Typically the plan is developed by a select group of top managers who are expected to carry out the strategy. Frequently the dissemination and execution of the plan is disjointed due to a lack of understanding and commitment by the remaining organization. This thesis focused on a methodology to engage an organization’s workforce in the execution of a strategic plan. The process involved a unique format that enables management to communicate the plan to the workforce. The format can also be used to track and report progress along the way. The research involved a variety of avenues related to improving the strategic planning process. Among them are: · Engagement of the workforce. Using employee involvement teams and input from all levels of the company. · The importance of Vision and Mission as components of a strategic plan. The people responsible for the creation of these components and how they guide the organization. · Identification of Strategic Drivers to identify the tactics that will be used. · Performance Metrics to provide the scoreboard to track progress along the way. · Dependent and Independent variables that drill-down the metrics to individual tasks throughout the organization. · The importance of communication at all levels during the implementation process. · Creation of a most important ‘link’ between the employee’s tasks and the goals of the organization. · The analysis of various existing methods used to document strategic plans and track the results. · The development of a simplified worksheet that provides a step-by-step method to create strategic plans at all levels within an organization. · A test in an actual corporate environment with dramatic results that validate the methodology. This project provides a unique tool that is adaptable to any company or organization. Properly implemented, this methodology could change the way future strategic plans are developed and implemented.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .H62 1999 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
