Why is the Eclectic Implementation Model?

Why is the Eclectic Implementation Model?

The Eclectic Implementation model states that strategy implementation is the integration of separately-developed, strategic variables into practice. 

An implementation process (or model) must demonstrate the following variables:

  • Logic
  • Operational
  • Economic
  • Balanced
  • Manageable
  • Efficient
Back to: STRATEGY & PLANNING

Logic  - Logic is the use of facts, experience, and instinct in developing a rational framework for integrating strategy into the organization. It also allows for deductive construction (improving implementation through activities and sequences). 

Operational  - A model for implementation should  be expressed in terms of operational and concrete actions that are tangible, verifiable, meaningful, and objective. 

Economic - A model for implementation should be able to address complex process with efficiency an by employing a minimal number of variables. 

Balanced - A model for implementation should balance theory and practice, facts and assumptions. It should indicates what to do and the implications of those actions. 

Manageable - A manageable model for implementation must make complexity and uncertainty manageable within the limits of our cognitive abilities. 

Efficient - The Efficiency of a model for implementation deals with resource and capability constraints. Thus, there are three forms of efficiency: 

  • Economic - Least financial costs
  • Cognitive - Minimal decision making in the face of limited cognitive capabilities.
  • Ethical - Decision and actions are carried out with the least intervention in a manner that prevents unexpected and harmful consequences for individuals.
