DESCRIPTION

A well-formulated business strategy, powerful product or breakthrough innovation can put an organisation on the competitive map, but only strong strategy supported by sustained execution can assure long-term success. Regularly cited as a top CEO priority, execution is considered the key to achieving superior business results. Yet, the majority of organisations fail to effectively implement strategic initiatives. Research reveals that companies achieve a fraction of the financial results envisioned during the strategy’s development. How much of this can be attributed to an organisation’s lack of business acumen or business skills? How can you develop right capabilities to drive superior execution?

Which Lever is the Strongest Predictor of Success?

To enable effective strategy execution, companies are best advised to:

– Define: execution plans early in the strategy formulation process

– Target: the strategy execution levers to achieve the full potential of strategic plans

– Develop: initiatives that move beyond traditional strategy communication methods

– Recognize: the importance of role of senior leadership

A long-term perspective and direct approach will prove critical to success.
