Strategy and delivery: a marriage in trouble?

According to the research, excellence in strategy implementation is way off balance in comparison to strategy design. The gap between them is growing exponentially. Moreover, the harsh truth is that strategy itself shows little value until it is successfully implemented. In a fast-moving business world, where a lot can happen in the blink of an eye, assessing and realigning quickly from strategy design to delivery is what it takes to succeed in the market.

The Brightline Initiative gives life to ideas

When we think that we are wasting $1m every 20 seconds due to the flawed implementation of programmes and projects, it becomes clear that we need to do something to rectify this problem. The short answer is that our society cannot afford to waste this huge amount of resources every year. It is a massive destruction of value, not only in terms of loss of profit for the private sector, but it wastes resources from governments and the not-for-profit sector too.

Think about how to connect your strategy design with your ability to deliver — or pay the price

It’s that shadow that fascinates me. Throughout my career, I have seen how even the most brilliant strategies can come to nothing because the connection between the definition and the delivery of strategy is incomplete and ineffectual. Markets are in constant flux, digital technology is accelerating the pace of, well, everything, consumer behavior is morphing before our eyes, and political and economic conditions can and do change overnight. In this environment of rapid change and uncertainty, organizations can survive only by continuously updating and refining their strategies — and then translating them into results.
