Implementation Programs for the Strategy
UNICconsult places great emphasis on the feasibility of strategic concepts. If strategies fail, it is often not due to the quality of the strategic concepts, but to the management of the implementation programs. Therefore, UNICconsult recommends paying special attention to this phase of the strategy work and systematically training the implementation competence of the executives. UNICconsult uses the 6 levers of strategy implementation (an article Riekhof/Offermann Hebel Strategieumsetzung is available for download).
The long-standing experience of UNICconsult in the field of strategy implementation can now also be read: in May 2010, the new book The 6 Levers of Strategy Implementation was published by Schäffer-Poeschel Verlag Stuttgart.
Strategy Scorecards and Strategic Yardsticks
Many companies have tried to introduce Balanced Scorecards – with very different success. The effort and benefit were not always in a reasonable ratio to each other. Therefore, UNICconsult takes a different, much more pragmatic approach: simple strategy scorecards are derived directly from the strategy of a business area, a profit center or a subsidiary as part of strategy projects – strategy scorecards are nothing more than strategic yardsticks that make the implementation success of the strategy transparent (see the article Riekhof/Offermann Hebel Strategieumsetzung for this).
