Certificate in Strategy Execution

Why Attend?

Research suggests that 70% of companies report that they consistently fail to deliver all their expectations from their strategic plan. Why is this? There may be many causes for this failure including unexpected and catastrophic events, such as the pandemic, activities of competitors, or the changing expectations of customers but evidence suggests that the major cause is a failure to execute. Failure to execute suggests that even when senior executives have a clear vision and comprehensive strategic plan to deliver breakthrough improvements in their organisation – meaning they understand what needs to be done – when it comes to actually making it happen, when the rubber hits the road, it fails to get traction.
