Sustainable Organization Growth and Profitability through Model-Driven Strategy Execution Management

​​Most organizations are in business to survive, grow and thrive. Organizations must acquire the necessary organizational capabilities to enhance strategic and operations management, and their effective interplay to align the big picture with the day-to-day activities. Organizations that are successful in developing new capabilities and enhancing existing capabilities are more likely to attain sustainable organization growth and profitability.

Making ideas and Strategies Visible 
Business strategy or ideas are intangible and not visible to the organization at large. A strategy can be made explicit by defining it as a set of goals and major policies statements within an organizational context. An organization can develop the capability of modeling strategy content that helps managers clarify the strategy concept and better identify precisely what is meant by a goal and a major policy. This makes the notion easy to grasp, and visible to those in the organization that would intervene to make strategy work.

An explicit model of strategy enables the organization to work out an agreed-upon strategy statement that can be more precisely documented; and ensure strategy determination does not degenerate into solemn recording of platitudes, useless for building consensus. It satisfies the needs of employees and stakeholders that cooperate to keep the organization alive and successful. Including managers developing consensus on the company's direction and how it intends to conduct business to be profitable.

However, not all companies implement and execute their strategies; a necessary step for the organization to gain any benefits from the strategy.

A company must acquire the necessary capabilities for effective strategic planning and mobilizing resources required to develop the organizational capabilities and strategic assets needed to close the strategy-to-performance gap. Successful execution requires a company possess the appropriate organization  capabilities e.g., leadership, management, etc., in addition to talent. Successful execution requires an execution system that enables shared understanding of strategy execution in terms of system elements of strategy content, organizational context and forces, and environment factors to inform strategic decisions to better to better achieve desired performance outcomes.
