During the implementation there was no focus on linking:
-
chronological link: strategy formulation, planning, monitoring and steering are not done in sequence
-
horizontal link: the involved departments are not co-operating
-
vertical link: the impact on the shop floor is unclear.
In addition to that, managers are struggling with the ´soft´ side of giving direction and have a hard time influencing the behaviour of their teams. The book has been written by 15 subject matter experts working for PA: Martin van de Bovenkamp, Jaap Büchli, Fred Conijn (editor), Rieneke Deelstra, Wim van Hennekeler, Ben van Lom, Wim Lubbersen, Cindy Meervis, Rudi Oskamp, Natasja Stet, Eric Stoutjesdijk, Peter de Vries, Petra van der Wees, Gerard Westerveld, Ank van Wylick.
