No longer can personnel resources be underutilized in either skill or capacity. Today’s dynamic business environment demands a degree of responsiveness and cost competitiveness that can only be achieved through heightened personnel flexibility and interchangeability. To achieve this requires the building of a foundation of standardized policies and procedures that align personnel resource management practices across the organization.

Personnel resource sharing requires individual availability and skill matching. Optimally, an individual possessing the needed, not excessive, skill in one workgroup is available to augment the receiving workgroup for the exact period of time necessary to complete the work assignment. This situation is difficult to achieve not only because of the idealistic pairing of skills and availability but because of the challenges associated with identifying well suited, available resources across the organization.

“Execution is where the rubber meets the road.”

Nathan Ives
Principal Contributor

Strategy without execution is nothing more than wishful thinking pursued with hope. No organization achieves true success unless it is able to effectively execute its initiatives. It is only through execution that leadership’s strategic vision is married to reality.

Tactical execution refers to the collection of actions taken and decisions made at all levels of the organization in the here and now; actions and decisions that ultimately shape the company’s future. Effective execution occurs when the right things get done efficiently. In organizations that execute effectively, leaders continually focus their workforce on accomplishing the priority activities defined by the strategic plan while workers strive to perform those activities in the most efficient manner possible.

Establishing a culture of effective execution requires executives and managers to master the art of interpersonal relationships and the skill of orchestrating simultaneous performance of a myriad of technical processes. Topics requiring mastery include:

• Standards and Expectations
• Talent Management
• Training and Development
• Portfolio Management
• Program Management
• Project Management
• Organizational Operations Methodologies and Practices

Execution is the life blood of successful organizations. Posts in this category are dedicated to discussing the leading practices of companies that effectively execute their business initiatives and operations to the fulfillment of the organization’s strategic vision.

“If you don’t step out of your box; if you don’t come out of your comfort zone where you look good, feel good, or where you’re liked and admired you won’t progress to live beyond your present potential. Instead, you’ll regress and remain in the reality of your own limitation.”

Executives and managers maximize their organization’s value through transformative change brought about by the effective execution of a long-range plan.  Some executives and managers, by setting long-term goals, the achievement of which is supported by a tactically flexible long-range plan, establish the conditions necessary for their organization to realize the significant benefits of transformative change.  In other organizations, executives and managers concern themselves with small incremental improvements, eliminating the possibility of attaining the breakaway successes of truly great organizations.
