Successful strategy execution
The game changer
The concise 33 strategies of war
Strategy-to-performance
Strategy-to-performance gaps foster a culture of under-performance. Unrealistic plans create the expectation throughout the organisation that plans simply will not be fulfilled.
This book shows how to overcome such failings and implement strategy effectively.
Common failings include:
- Companies rarely track their performance against long-term plans – less than 15% of companies make it a regular practice to go back and compare the business’ results with the performance forecast for each business unit in its prior years’ strategic results
- Results rarely meet projections – when companies do track performance, it rarely matches the prior years’ projection. The consequence is year-after-year of under-performance relative to the original plan.
The Game Changer
This book shows, innovation can become a reliable and repeatable game-changer for any business in all areas of the organisation, from the CEO’s desk to the everyday activities of each employee. By using new insights and easy-to-relate-to stories from P&G and other companies – describing, for example, the best way to brainstorm, and the “innovation portfolio”
The Concise 33 Strategies of War
The Concise 33 Strategies of War is a guide to the subtle social game of everyday life. Based on profound and timeless lessons, it is abundantly illustrated with examples of the genius and folly of everyone from Napoleon to Margaret Thatcher and Hannibal to Ulysses S. Grant, as well as diplomats, captains of industry and Samurai swordsmen.
