Implement Thought Leaders - The Execution Trap
Implement Thought Leaders 2011- Visual Executive Summary
According to Roger Martin, having a small select group (typically the top management) develop a strategy first and then making the rest of the organisation responsible for execution is not the right way to go about it. A strategy should be judged on its results, and if it is not implemented – regardless of the reason – it simply was not good enough from the outset.
Drawing a line between strategy and execution almost guarantees failure
Implement Consulting Group shares these views. We care about these issues because we see them as some of the main reasons why two-thirds of all strategies do not live up to their objectives.
