3 stats to evaluate your organization’s strategic capabilities

For your organization to achieve its goals, be those long-term, transformative or continuous, it must possess the right capabilities. These statistics prove why it's time to assess your Strategy Execution engine.

Written by: Deborah Biscomb, Head of Marketing

Modern Strategy Execution is typically defined by an organization's ability to overcome the three Cs, which I am sure will hold weight with you as you read this:

• Complexity: Challenging goals are often cascaded with ambiguity and poorly scoped, making it difficult to join up divisions’, teams’ and individuals’ actions to the wider strategy.
• Confusion: Operating in a manner which achieves real step change alongside making daily improvements can be challenging and can make the visibility and success of these efforts overly difficult.
• Consequences: Lack of visibility and appropriate action means that progress is tough to quantify, and identifying areas of improvement near impossible, pushing your goals ever further out of reach.

Overcoming these hurdles doesn't have to be a misguided endeavour.

These are the statistics you and your organisation need to be aware of when it comes to successful strategy deployment, management and execution.
