Imagine your car’s GPS providing you only information about the performance of your car and 500 meters’ visibility on your route; the rest of your trip is a black box. That is how many leaders run their organizations.
While changes have resulted in improvements to organizational operations over the last 100 years, there is still a significant gap between companies’ strategic plans and the execution of them.
Companies find it difficult to solve the strategic conflict: Run the Business versus Change the Business—the link between strategy planning, strategy execution, and project management.
Some means to keep strategy on track are structural. But there is also a role here for technology. The new norm is called Strategy Execution Management (SEM).
A digital platform can engage the whole organization in executing the strategy and tell you exactly what is going on at any given moment to help you stay on course.
Companies are running more and more projects, but they lack a basic understanding of how to link them with their overall strategy.
There seems to be a widespread failure to acknowledge that, as with any other business function, strategy requires an operational backend to monitor and follow up, just as financial and operational activities do.
The White Paper describes how to solve the strategic conflict: Run the Business versus Change the Business—the link between strategy planning, strategy execution, and project management.
Quick, sound decision-making and clear communication are achievable even during strategy execution. They only require some fundamental principles—principles we tend to forget in our day-to-day activities. It is not complicated, and by reading the White Paper you will be guided step by step.
