Our view on strategy execution

Most strategies fail because they are detailed plans to be carried out efficiently. Not only is this ill-suited for today’s unpredictable and complex business environment, but it also kills motivation, as clever people seldom get motivated by following instructions. Sadly, some management teams, when getting frustrated with the lack of execution, believe they need an even more detailed and closely monitored plan. Nothing could be more wrong. They just end up making things worse.

Instead of trying to control the unpredictable, we suggest embracing it and making it your competitive advantage.

We make strategies work in complex and unpredictable environments. We help build ownership throughout the organisation. We build our work on centuries of experience and well-proven methodologies from the most unpredictable environments of all.

We assist our clients in making the strategic plan a strategic intent that becomes the basis for systematically empowering the organization to show initiative, take ownership, and get things done.
