Kaplan & Norton (2008) suggested a management model called Execution
Premium, which incorporates the different strategic and operational tools into an
integrated planning and control cycle and which, simultaneously, ensures the
alignment between strategy and operations. The “Execution Premium” model,
with its central element, the Balanced Scorecard tool, incorporates a cycle of
strategic planning and execution, systematized and developed in 6 phases, for
which management tools are suggested to help organizations define, implement
and manage their entire strategy.
The present work used a case study being the main objective to identify and
understand the management tools adopted in the different stages of Lusilectra's
strategic planning and execution cycle, based on the reference framework of the
“Execution Premium” model. Simultaneously, a critical analysis is made of
Lusilectra's strategic planning and execution tools, and the respective
suggestions for improvement are provided. To respond to these objectives, and
beyond the author’s participant observation, a literature review was carried out
on the themes under study, interviews were conducted and information and
documents were collected to enable the answer to the research question.
The analysis carried out revealed some weaknesses and misalignments in the
company's strategic planning and execution cycle. It is suggested a more
systematic application of the Execution Premium model, integrating and
interconnecting all strategic and operational tools, ensuring greater alignment of
the employees with the strategy of Lusilectra.
