Strategy = Execution
20% strategy, 80% execution. That’s the recipe for faster improvement, renewal and innovation, based on our own research. Read about it in our international bestseller, Strategy = Execution.
"A wealth of well-founded insights and advice."

Improve, Renew and Innovate faster
Organizations are currently in a new economy, where they are either being disrupted or causing disruption. Continuity is no longer a given. Only one law applies: strategy = execution, because a strategy is only as brilliant as its execution. Strategy execution is the last competitive advantage, and strength, speed and agility in execution are more important than a perfectly mapped-out strategy based on feasibility and predictability. Strategy = Execution is the number 1 assignment for executives, professionals and entrepreneurs. For established organizations and for fast-growing startups. In the private and the (semi-)public sector.
Organizations that excel in strategy execution enjoy a three-month advantage in lead-time-to-execution and save 50% in total execution and innovation process time. They achieve 15 to 25% more of their goals. And these organizations increase their strategy execution capacity year after year, because they use a single language and method for the essentials of modern strategy execution.
Based on 60 interviews with executives, 75 cases and 300 articles and books with one question: what makes or breaks modern day strategy execution and innovation? The research is published under the title Strategy = Execution.
