How can a strategic planning analyst help to implement company annual action plan?

What is Strategic Planning? Strategic planning is an organizational management activity that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish agreement around intended outcomes/results, and assess and adjust the organization's direction in response to a changing environment. It is a disciplined effort that produces fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, who it serves, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future. Effective strategic planning articulates not only where an organization is going and the actions needed to make progress, but also how it will know if it is successful. See more at the Strategy Management Group website >> What is a Strategic Plan? A strategic plan is a document used to communicate with the organization the organizations goals, the actions needed to achieve those goals and all of the other critical elements developed during the planning exercise. What is Strategic Management? What is Strategy Execution? Strategic management is the comprehensive collection of ongoing activities and processes that organizations use to systematically coordinate and align resources and actions with mission, vision and strategy throughout an organization. Strategic management activities transform the static plan into a system that provides strategic performance feedback to decision making and enables the plan to evolve and grow as requirements and other circumstances change. Strategy Execution is basically synonymous with Strategy Management and amounts to the systematic implementation of a strategy. What Are the Steps in Strategic Planning & Management? There are many different frameworks and methodologies for strategic planning and management. While there are no absolute rules regarding the right framework, most follow a similar pattern and have common attributes. Many frameworks cycle through some variation on some very basic phases: 1) analysis or assessment, where an understanding of the current internal and external environments is developed, 2) strategy formulation, where high level strategy is developed and a basic organization level strategic plan is documented 3) strategy execution, where the high level plan is translated into more operational planning and action items, and 4) evaluation or sustainment / management phase, where ongoing refinement and evaluation of performance, culture, communications, data reporting, and other strategic management issues occurs.

I apologize I leave it to experts

A strategic planning system is nothing more than a structured (that is, designed) process that organizes and coordinates the activities of the managers who do the planning. No universal, off-the-shelf planning system exists for the simple and obvious reason that companies differ in size, diversity of operations, the way they are organized, and managers’ style and philosophy. An effective planning system requires “situational design”; it must take into account the particular company’s situation, especially along the dimensions of size and diversity.

An analyst should not be helping to implement anything. 

The role of a strategic analyst is to analyse how this year's plan is working in order to refine next year's plan.

agree with expert answers above

 

Thanks for the invitation.

I agree with Mr. Achmad and his views on strategic analyst and Annual action plan.

You cannot confuse a strategic analyst with on ground action team. The role is a senior most position that gives expert consultative direction setting for their relevant departments.

The firset know strategic planning : determine whate the organization long term goals should be for the next 1-5 years with the resources they expect to have availabile .. is the sum total of the activities  and choices required for the execution of a stratedic plan . it is the process by which strategies and policies are put  into action through the development if programs budgets and procedures . although imlemantion is usually considered after strategy hsa been formulated impementation should thus be considered as two sides of the sam coin. poor implemanation has been blamed for a number of strategic failures.-who implemantaion strategy-what must be done -developing programs , budgets, and procedures-achiving synergy-organization for action-structre follows strategy -stage for corparet strategy -organizaion life cycle 

• As a Strategic Planning Analyst, you must first be clear about what the strategy is as communicated by the Executive and what the corporate goals are. 
• You must then be able to effectively communicate the strategy across the company to all business units.
• You must be able to BREAK DOWN the strategy per business unit with the heads of departments / unit heads as to how the strategy will directly affect their Business Unit and then help them come up with actionable objectives as to how they will achieve thier departmental / unit strategies always keeping in mind that this must tie into the corporate strategy.
• You must devise checks and measures and ensure periodic evaluation to make sure a) the organization is on track to meet corporate strategy and b) the units are on track to meet unit / departmental strategies and how this is feeding into the corporate strategic goals. 
• All this must be MEASURABLE and DOCUMENTED! 
• Ensure you have a reward system in place to recognize individual, departmental / unit and corporate achievements hence motivating everyone to work towards the same goal.

I leave the answer to the experts, specialists in this field

Generally involves setting goals, determining actions to achieve the goals, and mobilizing resources to execute the actions

I am not sure how a strategic analyst can help if the leadership has not bought into and has not intergrated the company action plan into their roles and resposnibilites and filtered it down through their areas of influemce.

 

Al that the analyst can do is to test if the plan is alive in the bejhaviours of the staff in the lowest position of the comany.

Lastly the analyst will test if what is in the plan results in an improvement in the business through test the deliverables of the plan.
