BUILDING AN ORGANIZATION CAPABLE OF GOOD STRATEGY EXECUTION:


THREE KEY ACTIONS

1. Staffing the organization —putting together a strong management team, and recruit-
ing and retaining employees with the needed experience, technical skills, and
intellectual capital.
2. Acquiring, developing, and strengthening the resources and capabilities required
for good strategy execution —accumulating the required resources, developing
proficiencies in performing strategy-critical value chain activities, and updating
the company’s capabilities to match changing market conditions and customer
expectations.
3. Structuring the organization and work effort —organizing value chain activities
and business processes, establishing lines of authority and reporting relationships,
and deciding how much decision-making authority to delegate to lower-level
managers and frontline employees.
