Chapter 24: Where strategy often goes wrong

  • Summary

  • There are three main reasons why organisations fail to extract full value from their strategy creation to strategy execution process:

    1. We fail to align on a single source of the truth.
    2. We don’t place enough emphasis on strategy execution.
    3. We get lost in translation.

    Strategy creation is not a passive delegation process. It is an active participation process that happens at every level in an organisation in order to breed success for every individual.


    What to expect in this episode:

    (06:40): Why your strategy might be failing.

    (10:06): Is your strategy getting lost in translation?

    (12:00): How to prevent losing sight of the purpose when there’s so much focus on goals and measures of success.
