How to improve organizational execution?

How to Improve Organizational Execution Date of publication: 2006-5-10 The information age is an era where fast fish eat slow fish.

Execution is the core competitiveness of an enterprise.

When an enterprise does not have a strategy, the strategy determines success or failure; after an enterprise has a strategy, execution determines the success or failure.

Strategy can be imitated, but execution cannot be copied.

For example, you can make "Hanbao", but you cannot make "McDonald's".

The "Fortune" survey shows that any of the world's top 500 companies has outstanding performance in the three aspects of technological leadership, value-added services and efficient execution, at least in terms of execution, which shows that execution is the key to corporate success. magic weapon.

How to improve the execution ability of the organization? Combining relevant books, training and job practice, I believe that efforts should be made from the following six aspects: 1. Strong and powerful leadership.

Strong and powerful leadership is the prerequisite for improving execution.

A team of sheep led by a lion can beat a team of lions led by a sheep.

A soldier is a raging enemy, and a general is raging in a nest.

The execution ability of the leader determines the execution ability of the organization.

A successful organization is inseparable from successful leadership.

There are many founding emperors in Chinese history, and every prosperous and powerful era is related to leaders.

In many dynasties, the reputation of the emperor is louder than that of the country, such as Qin Shihuang, Liu Bang, Kangxi, etc.; in many companies, the reputation of entrepreneurs is higher than the reputation of the company, such as Li Ka-shing, Liu Chuanzhi, Wang Shi, Bill Gates et al.

There are no soldiers who cannot fight, only generals who cannot lead.

An army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.

Leaders are the key to the success of an organization.

If the direction is wrong, no matter how good the sailor is, he will not be able to reach the other side.

Teaching by example is more important than words, and actions speak louder than words. Leaders must do what they ask their subordinates to do first. Building an efficient team starts with selecting leaders with efficient execution.

For leaders, execution ability is not the highlight of a single quality, but the combination and performance of multiple qualities. It is embodied in an overall and far-sighted business insight; an informal A breakthrough way of thinking; an attitude of "setting goals and being firm"; a management style that is resolute and quick to act; a work style that is brave enough to shoulder heavy responsibilities and dare to take risks.

2. A high-quality team.

A high-quality team is the basis for improving execution.

It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Execution ability is the ability to accomplish goals. Accomplishing goals depends on people. Without people to execute, everything is a castle in the air.

The execution power of an organization comes from the execution power of individuals.

An individual's execution ability depends on whether he has good working methods and habits, whether he is proficient in the relevant management tools for managing people and affairs, whether he has the correct working ideas and methods, and whether he has the ability to execute. Management style and personality traits, etc.

Through corporate training, employees can develop good working methods and improve their work efficiency and effectiveness to achieve the goal of efficient execution.

Such as the 28 golden principle, the principle of priority, project promotion plan, etc.

Effective working methods = time schedule management, priority management, authorization and task management, unexpected interference management, meeting management, report management, memo management, checklist management, memory system management, assistant application management...all smart and effective working methods.

3. Result-oriented culture.

Result-oriented corporate culture is the soil for improving execution.

An enterprise is composed of different departments and employees, and different individuals will inevitably have differences in their thinking and actions.

How to make the different forces finally become the combined force to promote the enterprise as much as possible can only rely on corporate culture.

The corporate culture of "no excuses, only results" will greatly improve the company's execution capabilities.

The employees of the company come from all over the world. Everyone has different educational backgrounds, different work experiences, and different professional skills. They have their own methods of accomplishing goals. As long as the results can be achieved in a way that employees are happy with, , is the highest state of corporate standards and employee happiness.

We should establish a working atmosphere that enables harmonious communication, cooperation, and collaboration, unify and coordinate the behavior of executives, and move toward the goal in a unified manner.

At the same time, a healthy, positive, uplifting, and comfortable atmosphere for work, study, life, and social interaction should be established so that talents can concentrate and not be distracted by trivial matters outside themselves; they can perform normally and No need to look forward or backward; you can go all out and have no worries.

This can enhance employees' sense of identity, trust and loyalty to the enterprise, improve employee morale and motivation, creativity and curiosity, thereby better serving organizational goals.

Meitus Group's "Basic Law" is the core content of corporate culture. It regards "execution and efficiency" as one of the company's core values ??and as an important criterion for evaluating employees, and promotes "execution" through systematic measures. "Efficient", efficient execution has become a common practice.

For example, three principles of work, four steps of communication, efficient execution committee, morning meeting system, weekly meeting system, weekly planning and summary system, monthly flag-raising ceremony, quarterly performance appraisal, beginning of the year swearing-in meeting, semi-annual work report , annual summary meeting, red and white ticket system, 24-hour recall system, one-vote veto system, as well as timely text messages, phone calls, emails and contact sheets and other tools.

4. Simple and efficient system.

Simple and efficient system processes are the guarantee for improving execution.

Management is all about simplicity.

The result of technological development is to make our lives and work easier and more efficient.

The invention of the automobile increased the speed of transportation, the invention of the computer increased the speed of computing, and the invention of the telephone increased the speed of communication.

The progress of management is to increase the speed of execution.

A simple and efficient system can not only improve efficiency but also save costs.

For example, many companies stipulate that local calls should not exceed five minutes, long-distance calls should not exceed three minutes, information notifications should not exceed 70 words (the number of words in a short message), and work communication emails should not exceed 100 words. Daily documents should not exceed one page.

The morning meeting shall not exceed 20 minutes, the weekly meeting shall not exceed 1 hour, the monthly meeting shall not exceed 2 hours, the quarterly or semi-annual meeting shall not exceed 4 hours, and the annual meeting shall not exceed 8 hours. Lenovo Group also stipulates that regardless of Anyone arriving late to a meeting for any reason must stand for one minute, even the Chairman of the Board.

Many foreign-funded enterprises stipulate that all reports must use numbers, charts and photos, text content must not exceed one-third, internal review and approval must not exceed three links, company management must not exceed four levels, and office working hours Do not wait more than five days.

Many companies also stipulate the time for reply, approval and feedback on various matters, and stipulate that documents that are not approved after the approval time limit are deemed to be agreed.

If an organization wants to fundamentally improve its execution capabilities, it must first optimize its organizational structure and streamline institutional processes. Otherwise, the processes will hinder the company's efficient execution.

5. Operation of project management.

The way project management operates is the magic weapon for efficient execution.

The prominent reason that affects execution is the localism of department heads and the break in the chain between departments.

Through the project management method, based on job responsibilities, breaking department boundaries, taking work goals as the guide, using professional capabilities and optimized combination as a means, we work together to complete the goals, so as to achieve the goal of maximizing the capabilities of each person and executing Efficient goals.

For example, all important work within the human resources center is carried out in the form of project management, such as talent recruitment, induction training, magazine writing, performance management, job analysis, administrative management, website construction, etc.; Group Large-scale major events are carried out through project management. The most successful cases include the 10th anniversary celebration of Meitus.

After each project is completed, a summary analysis will be conducted and a summary report will be written to provide information for the next target completion.

Everything is a project.

Different things have different methods of completion and require the use of different management tools.

But no matter how anything is completed, there is a universal management tool (i.e. project management tool), which we collectively call 5W3H: 1. Work tasks (what): work content and workload, work requirements and goals .

2. The purpose of doing things (why): Is it necessary (I personally) to do this thing, or what is the purpose of doing this thing; 3. Organizational division of labor (who): This thing Who or persons will do the work, and what tasks they undertake respectively; 4. Work entry point (where): where to start, what path (procedural steps) to follow, and where to end; 5. Work process (when) : The work schedule and arrangement corresponding to the work procedure steps (including the time budget used); 6. Methods and tools (how): the tools needed to complete the work and the planning and arrangement of key links (the core of the work plan) 7. Work resources (how) much): What resources and conditions are needed to complete the work, and how much each is required.

For example: human, financial, material, time, information, technology and other resources, as well as the coordination of power, policy, mechanism and other conditions.

8. Work results (how do you feel): prediction of work results, impact on others and other people’s evaluation or feelings.

It should be noted that before formulating a plan, the work objectives - the indicators or results to be achieved by the activities; policies - the guiding ideology and code of conduct for the work (that is, what can be done and what cannot be done) must be clarified. How to do it); procedure - the exact way, method of doing things and their time or logical sequence and behavioral planning.

Promote work according to project management methods, which is simple and efficient without any mistakes.

6. Incentives with scientific rewards and punishments.

The incentives of scientific rewards and punishments are the source of improving execution.

With scientific rewards and punishments, the execution of the organization is like a never-ending engine.

Incentive is motivation, and employees will change from screws to engines.

With a good incentive system, employees will spontaneously improve their execution ability.

Execution power = execution ability, execution motivation, execution attitude, effective promotion and effective control.

The execution motivation, execution promotion and effective control mentioned here all refer to incentive mechanisms.

Employees will not do what you need, they will only do what you check and reward. Execution ability can only be measured.

If there are only inspections without scientific rewards and punishments, all inspections will become ineffective.

One of the most successful magic weapons of the Communist Party is scientific rewards and punishments. For example, promotion at the front line and dismissal on the spot are the most timely rewards and punishments; attacking local tyrants and allocating their fields is the most realistic reward; farmers can turn themselves into entrepreneurs. The master is the inspiration of the goal; upstairs and downstairs, the light and telephone are the inspiration of the vision.

The current profit center, responsibility center, goal-oriented performance management, red and white ticket system, quarterly growth commission, annual profit sharing, stock option system, etc. promoted by the company are scientific incentive mechanisms that combine short, medium and long term .

To be an "efficient" manager, you must practice ten abilities and develop seven efficient habits.

The ten abilities of managers are: goal setting ability, planning ability, comprehension ability, command ability, coordination ability, control ability, authorization ability, judgment ability, innovation ability and leadership ability.

The seven habits of highly effective people are: don’t expect anyone to push you, be loyal to your own life plan, choose not to do something more difficult, stay away from the era of the arena, communicate with empathy , 1 1 can be greater than 2. Live a life of physical and mental balance.
