Presentation for:
2012 Fall Conference
Strategy Primary reason organizations fail – No Strategy
90% who do have a written plan fail to execute it….: Only 5% of their workforce understand it
Only 25% of managers have incentives that are linked to it
85% of Executive teams spend less than one hour per month discussing it
60% of organizations don’t link budgets to strategy.
If there is no strategy the organization is doomed to fail
