Business Implementation
Business Implementation
This is the process of executing a plan into practice. Business
Implementation involves establishing structures and activities needed to
introduce a business into the marketplace. Even on a start-up or already
well-established organization, business implementation becomes the
responsibility of all the members of the organization .
Implementation is the process of executing a plan or policy so
that a concept becomes a reality. Managers must implement a plan
properly, they should communicate concrete goals and expectations, and
supply employees with the resources needed to help the help the
company.
Importance of
Business
Implementation
(Based from the insight of Gustafson)
Change
The implementation of a plan brings about
change meant to help improve the company to solve a
problem. The changes can occur to policies,
management structure, organizational development,
budgets , processes, products or services. Since the
status quo can be detrimental to a company, change can
help improve the work environment and/or the customer
experience.
Organizational Development
Part of good organizational development
involves in all employees in implemented changes. When
a company shares its ideas and goals with the workers,
the workers will feel a sense of ownership and loyalty to
the company, as well as feel included in something
important that is larger than their respective job
descriptions. Making workers feel valued also helps
maintain or improve employee retention. Communicating
goals helps encourage participation and can give a plan
a strong start.
Increased Cooperation
When
executed
properly,
business
implementation
can
increase
interdepartmental
cooperation. It can be easy within business to work
independently and only rely on another department within
a business to work independently and only rely on
another department when a need arises, particularly on a
large company. Business implementation helps unite
departments, open the lines communication, creates a
diverse culture within the organization and increases
efficiency and productivity.
Clear Priorities
As well as communicating goals, business
implementation sets clear priorities. Priorities are generally
based on due dates, client needs, financial, concerns,
worker needs or logistics. Deadlines help guarantee the
implementation of a plan with realistic due dates, but a
company must provide its workers with clear action steps
and resources to ensure the success of the plan. Failure to
communicate
priorities
can
cause
inefficiencies,
miscommunications, worker frustration and low morale.
When priorities or deadlines are realistic, employees feel as
if a company is setting them up for success.
Moving Forward
Business implementation is important for moving a company
forward. When a business fail to implement and execute its
strategies properly, it fails to move forward and grow.
According to website Business Balls, to implement and
execute a plan successfully, there must be “motivational
leadership,” a plan of action and “performance
management.”
Business
Implementation
Strategies
(According to George N. Root III)
Get Staff and Management Involved
A business idea can start with any member of the staff,
but getting the company to accept the implementation of a new
idea requires the entire staff to be involved in some way with the
planning. It is not necessary to take input from every individual,
but one can get departmental managers involved in the process
from the beginning, especially concerning how any major
changes will affect their departments. These managers can then
reach out their staff and get the company involved in the
implementation strategy, the scope and perspective in the
process
Invest in Training
Any new business idea must be done effectively, invest in
training at every phase of the process. For instance, at least 60
days prior to implementing a new business idea, training should
focus on alerting the staff to the pending change then introduce
how such changes will benefit the company. Continue training
throughout the implementation period and be prepared to take
input from your employees as to how you can make the process
smoother.
Consider Outside Factors
Implementing a new idea for the business could affect the
vendors or customers. In planning the implementation of the
strategy, consider how any change , big or small, will affect the
entities to do the business with. Targeted market research of the
clients and vendors can give an indication of how the changes
will affect the business before implementing them. Discuss the
ideas with the largest vendors or clients to determine if they
need to make any alteration to the plans.
Open Communication
Implementing change is easier if you allow free and open
communication within your organization. Encourage employees
to give their input about your proposed changes, and maintain
an open communication policy throughout the implementation
process.
