Functional Strategy Implementation-Experimental Study on Agile KANBAN

Functional strategies are designed to achieve organizational business strategy and create competitive advantage. In a continuously changing business environment, functional strategies have to be implemented with precision, speed and by maximizing resource productivity. Many researchers argue that, with a simple probability assumption, a strategy may not succeed in 75% of cases. Implementation is the difficult step in the strategy management. Key factors that impact the strategy implementation are leadership, communication, organization structure and culture. Most of the documented tools and methods of strategy management mainly focus on the strategy formulation. This paper explains about the usage of KANBAN boards for strategy implementation at functional level and how it can positively contribute to the key success factors of implementation with an experimental study.
