You can’t overdo the basics – focus on the “blocking and tackling” and build a solid implementation plan. One executive noted that all of the maxims should be brought out and forced onto the implementation planners: “Don’t neglect the details”, “Measure twice, cut once”, “Plan the work and work the plan”, “Check your work”, etc. The structure and elements of an implementation plan involve the “usual suspects”, but most of the horror stories we’ve heard involve at least some shortcoming in addressing one or more of these elements. The starting point for a successful implementation process is a solid implementation plan that can be effectively and clearly communicated to the organization with sufficient detail about what is being done and why it will benefit the organization.
