Implement
From strategy to action
In organisations, the pain points often lie in the transition from strategy to action. Not in the formulation of the strategy. Not in the vision on the slide. But in that moment when it all has to come to life in the real world. That’s where we see things break down for many leadership teams.
When we talk about the leadership teams strategy implementation, it's about getting things out of the board meeting room and out to the people who actually make things happen in the company. It's about getting everyone on board, ensuring that the money and resources are there, and that people actually know what they have to do and why it's important. It is your responsibility as a leader and leadership team to make it happen.
Because strategy implementation isn’t just about plans and KPIs – it’s about:
• Getting people on board
• Creating clarity, momentum and meaning
• Distributing responsibility without losing direction
• Making sure someone actually gets things done
We work with you – right where it hurts, and where things start to work. Where the countless hours spent crafting the perfect strategy need to be turned into action. That’s where we come in.
“That man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate.”

Four principles
- Alignment: Cooperation and common understanding support team work. Get the team mindset and psychological safety in place.
- Clarity: Keep the strategy implementation simple, simple enough so that everyone can communicate it, understand it and deliver on it.
- Prioritise: Execute the most important objectives first. First things first, prioritise overview and adjust.
- Empowerment: Decentralise responsibility and ownership, let employees make decisions. Then they can deliver.
To be specific
When we concretise an overall strategy and can show the connection from the day-to-day action to the strategic, we extend the decision-making competence right down to the outermost levels of the organisation. This means that we give our employees the opportunity to make decisions in their daily work that are in line with the strategy. It sounds easy and should be a no-brainer, but it is often not done.
We can help you with that and while you decide to hire us, you can read this article from Harvard Business Review that gives you five pieces of advice on how to implement strategy.

Strategy implementation
When we talk about doing strategic work, we usually talk about designing the strategy itself. But that is not where the majority of the workload lies.
Talks
Inspirational talks, new perspectives, mindset & collaboration
Workshops
Our approach to workshops is that there must be action followed by implementation and delegation of responsibilities.
Let’s build something strong together
Our experience is that working with 3 Push gives the best results & greatest success with implementation. That means we commit to a minimum of 3 sessions/workshops together. Then we do not waste your money and our time
