Strategy = Execution
Strengthen & accelerate strategy execution. At the heart of your organization.
Organizations that excel at strategy execution start executing critical initiatives 3 months faster (lead time to execution), achieve a 50% reduction in execution and innovation process lead times, and most importantly, accomplish 15–25% more of their objectives.
Equally interesting: every year, they strengthen the organization’s capability in strategy execution. These organizations share one language and methodology around the essentials of modern strategy execution. Learn in a full day or half-day how they do it during the in-company masterclass Strategy = Execution for executives.
The in-company masterclass gives you rapid insight into the specific and critical execution challenges facing your organization. At the same time, you learn which interventions are best suited to accelerate strategy execution as early as tomorrow.
The in-company masterclass is based on Turner’s research, involving 60 senior executives, 75 case studies and 300 sources, as well as the publication of the same name, Strategy = Execution. Each participant receives a copy of the publication.
Objectives, what are the benefits?
- Tailored insight into the specific execution challenges of your organization.
- Insight into the success and failure factors of real-world strategy execution.
- Proven best practices to increase speed, execution power and agility starting tomorrow.
- Concrete interventions and ideas for practical application starting tomorrow!
A typical in-company masterclass consists of three components.
- The intake: participants only take part if they are intrinsically motivated and prepare the issues they consider essential to accelerating strategy execution.
- The masterclass: a carefully designed balance of expert input (50%) and interaction (50%) to identify the interventions needed to accelerate execution.
- The acceleration: over the course of three months, the defined interventions are implemented and monitored. During the optional follow-up day, the results are evaluated and embedded within the organization.
Examples of professional challenges addressed.
- What are the struggles and dilemmas in strategy execution? What is the cost of failure?
- What makes or breaks a good strategy? What is the execution capability of your organization?
- What is the difference between Improving, Renewing and Innovating?
- Portfolio: What are the “critical initiatives” that must succeed?
- Old versus new: how do you organize them alongside each other?
- Strategy activation: Who is personally committed to making it happen?
- What does a “must-have” initiative look like? Where is the breakthrough, and where does excellence lie?!
- How are we going to realize the initiative? In terms of content, change management, project management, or within the line organization?
- What is the best use of resources (time, money) and of passion and energy?
