Operations: implementing strategy
Posted by Grant Brewer
Operations is what a company does. It is the core. Strategy tells us what we're going to do and how we might be doing it - operations gets down to the doing and actually implements a strategy. It is easy in conversations about strategy to lose sight of the fact that all strategies need to be implemented otherwise they remain concepts or ideas. No business can be successful by focusing only on building strategy. At some point every organisation (even a non-commercial organisation) has to implement. Operations is perhaps not seen as the glamorous side of business strategy, but it is equally important because it is where the doing gets done.
