Nearly 50% of business leaders say there is a gap
between their organization’s ability to develop strategy
and their ability to execute it

Even more disturbing, 64% lack confidence in their
organization’s ability to close that gap

Achieving Results Through Excellent Execution

Why are some organizations better at executing plans and strategic initiatives than others? What are the barriers to effective execution? What can leaders do to improve how they and their organizations execute plans and initiatives?


Find out by joining our free email mailing list and receive a copy of our report on Strategy Execution.

If an organization can’t execute, nothing else matters: not the most solid, well thought-out strategy, not the most innovative business model, not even technology that could transform an industry.

From our research and through our work with leadership teams from diverse industries, we have identified eight critical factors that help a company close the strategy-execution gap and achieve superb organizational performance:

  1. A clear vision and a realistic strategy

  2. A focus on customers and an understanding of their needs

  3. A committed workforce with the skills and tools to do their jobs well

  4. Structures and systems that are aligned with strategy and that support its effective execution

  5. Leader behavior that is consistent with organizational values and priorities

  6. The ability to lead and manage change effectively

  7. A high degree of empowerment and accountability

  8. Cooperation and coordination across all work units and at all levels
