The objective of this paper is to propose the methodology for the implementation of strategic plans in organizations through the prevention and, in its case, the definition and solution of the problems that frequently affect the implementation processes with many negative manifestations and harmful consequences. By elaborating the concept of implementation under the systems  approach and cybernetic paradigm, two  types of these problems have been identified: the organizational and the functional ones. The consequent analysis of each kind of them has permitted the development of a methodology for their prevention, identification and solution to assure an effective and efficient implementation process. This methodology consists in realizing five subsequent procedures, which were validated with positive results obtained through their virtual application to the different cases of manifestations with the negative consequences that had occurred during strategic plans implementations described in literature.

This paper presents a management model that describes the attributions of the different actors that work together in the realization of university-industry linkage projects, as well as the relations between these actors. The construction of the model was carried out based on the systemic and cybernetic approaches. The Management Model for University-Industry Linkages was used in the implementation of seven projects, which allowed the validation of its potential as a tool to monitor and regulate the process of project execution, guaranteeing the satisfactory fulfillment of the established objectives. One of the limitations of the model is that its functional structure responds to the management of the institution's linkage projects only for the knowledge field of engineering and that these projects are carried out through a system or organization linking the university with the industry, which can lead to duplication of activities or lack of coordination between the areas that carry out linking activities for the entire educational institution.
