Business and Strategy Execution

Execution is #1 priority for CEO

“Consistency of purpose, planning for the future, understanding the past, developing a system of measurement that truly helps the company survive and prosper: that is the job of the executive”  
Dr. W. Edwards Deming

Reasons for poor business and strategy execution are different for many organizations, and may include the following elements with other underlying causes:

  • Unclear roles and responsibilities
  • Lack of accountability
  • Poor communication (lateral and vertical)
  • Lack of alignment
  • Inadequate or lack of effective actions to impact strategic objectives
  • Lack of proper performance monitoring processes
  • Inadequate closed-loop feedback system
  • Inadequate focus on the overall system with external and internal factors
  • Inadequate integration of capability, objectives, and initiatives
  • Inadequate visibility or knowledge of key strategic processes and their performance
  • Complex and ineffective measurement system around internal processes 
  • Lack of engagement
