Implementation Plan
Objectives
The objectives of the strategic plan are to build upon the already successfully developed business structure for Coca-Cola, and continue a successful path for the growth of the business. The strategic plan will allow Coca-Cola to create goals and more value for the business and its brands.
Functional Tactics
The functional tactics for the strategic plan focus on activities that can be accomplished as soon as possible. Coca-Cola will separate each strategy recommended and develop upon them immediately. In the generic strategy Coca-Cola will analyze cost and differentiation of their current markets and provide feedback of the current conditions. In the grand strategy Coca-Cola will analyze the current markets and regions for necessary changes or innovations that may be necessary for growth. The global strategy will focus on supporting our current global markets while finding new global markets to move into.
Action Items
Action items for Coca-Cola are tasks that need to be addressed immediately. The current action items for Coca-Cola are the investment in technology and more efficient logistics to support the analysis of costs for the focus strategy. Cost leadership will require Coca-Cola to find lower priced ingredients for the manufacturing process or purchasing the ingredients in larger bulk for a lower price. The grand strategy will require immediate action upon the current markets with advertising and innovation for domination and growth. Coca-Cola will also focus in on organizational operations to reinvest in employees and the company.
Milestones & Deadlines
Milestones will include monthly progress reports for each strategy, the successful execution of action items, and the overall success of each strategic plan and its goals for the company. The deadline for the strategic plan’s full implementation will be 2 years after the start date. The strategic plan will be reevaluated and adjusted each quarter as necessary.
Tasks & Task Ownership
Tasks will be given by the CEO to each of the team members as necessary. Each team member will be placed on one of the strategic plans exclusively with another member and expected to work cohesively to carry out the plan. All team members will collaborate each quarter and aid each other as necessary on all plans.
Resource Allocation
Coca-Cola currently has multiple resources that will allow the successful implementation of the strategic plan. All team members are able to allocate resources as necessary to their strategy. Each quarter the team will approve the initial plans of resource allocation and be available for collaboration if necessary to reevaluate.
