STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION

To be effective, the strategy must drive all activity throughout the organisation. What we do day-to-day must link to the strategy and, ultimately, our values, vision and mission.

To achieve this, the strategy will be cascaded into operational plans for all entities and functions, and, ultimately, into the goals and performance metrics for all employees. Each country will develop a five year plan, which details how they will implement this strategy at an operational level. Standard templates and processes for operational plans and related reviews will be developed and implemented.

The strategy will remain flexible and annual reviews of the strategy will be led by the CEO. An ability to respond to changing dynamics and circum- stances is critical, so agility has been factored into the strategy implementation. A review of the external and internal environment will be built into the implementation and review processes and, where necessary, appropriate modifications or recalibration may be made. It will be imperative that any such changes, their rationale and resulting amendments to operational plans and individual goals are implemented and communicated clearly and consistently throughout the organisation.
