If you like strategy books and (hopefully) read CDS Capabilities-Driven Strategy from the same authors, you will definitely like this one.
Did you know: 50% of executives have no confidence in their own strategy. (and the other half probably wouldn’t admit it when asked in a Survey)
While a well formulated, well thought through strategy is beautiful per se (at least all Strategy Consultants will agree with me), most companies are struggling to execute and implement it. We call this the Strategy-to-Execution Gap.
Thus, Strategy that Works takes a specific look on how to simply 1) do a good strategy, and 2) bridge the execution gap
The Magic Sauce:
- commit to a coherent identity
- translate the strategy into the everyday
- put the corporate culture to work
- leverage costs to grow stronger
- shape the future
