Driving Execution and Accountability.
Turn a strategy into action that holds. Leaders learn the concrete steps of execution, from the situation analysis to the communication that keeps a team aligned.
- For
- Individuals and teams who need better execution and alignment to deliver on their targets, and the managers who lead them.
- Format
- Two days. In person or live virtual.
What it is for.
A strategy is a plan, and most plans fail in execution: by common estimates, 60 to 70 percent of business strategies are never successfully implemented. Leaders know the models of strategy formulation but not the process steps that make a strategy real, and they tend to step back just when they are needed most.
Over two days participants work with tools for setting goals and tracking strategic initiatives, write mission statements that keep the main effort in focus, and carry out a situation analysis. They learn to identify and manage disruptive risks, to align team members through clear roles and dependencies, and to use a communication framework that keeps execution moving.
