WHY STRATEGY
EXECUTION IS SO HARD.
Developing a brilliant strategy is a numbers game.
It takes vision, experience and condence but
in the end, its a decision based on hard data and
calculated assumptions made by one CEO or a
small executive team.
Making it happen is a people game. It requires
every employee to understand what the new
strategy means for their role. To be inspired by it.
To be willing to change deeply ingrained habits
and behaviors to deliver it. There is no magic
bullet. Its a challenging journey and everyone must
come along.
