Successful Strategic Plan Implementation in Public Organizations: Connecting People , Process , and Plan (3Ps)
Abstract
Strategic planning (SP) remains the dominant approach to strategy formulation at all levels of government, and it is an enduring topic of public administration research and practice. Simultaneously, little is known about the conditions under which strategic plans are successfully implemented in government. This Viewpoint essay provides evidence‐based recommendations from SP initiatives in Flemish municipalities using multi‐informant and multisource survey data. It shows that successfully implementing strategic plans is influenced by the people, process, and plan (3Ps) underlying SP. Involving creators in SP helps make the SP process more informed. An informed SP process that includes constructive conflict helps induce high‐quality strategic plans. High‐quality strategic plans contribute to successful strategic plan implementation. Practitioners are encouraged to consider SP not as a one‐size‐fits‐all solution to strategy formulation, but as an approach in which variation in people, process, and plan influences implementation success.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
