Strategy Execution
Empower your teams to do their part in achieving growth and change

Strategy execution is, in many ways, harder because this is where the change takes place. Yet, strategy formulation gets all the boardroom bravado, causing leaders to overinvest in strategy formulation and underinvest in a meaningful framework for strategy execution.
