Effective Strategy Execution requires optimized and integrated capabilities across business and enterprise architecture, portfolio management, financial management, project execution, and change management.

These processes are typically owned by different teams and rarely integrated into the cohesive operating model needed to orchestrate investments across the organization.

This fractured approach makes it nearly impossible to access timely data for agile decision-making.

Without clear definition and communication of strategy and a cohesive operating model, organizations often devolve into collections of separate "chiefdoms."

This disconnection leads to misalignment between teams, resulting in wasted resources, duplicated efforts, and investments that don't contribute effectively to strategic goals.

Mastering strategy execution requires uniting all functions with a common operating model while maintaining their autonomy to perform effectively and access the data they need for informed decision-making.

Every organization has unique characteristics—effective strategy execution requires best practices personalized to align with the culture and idiosyncrasies of each organization.

​

Teams frequently implement universal methodologies that ignore or minimize the needs of other organizational functions.

Worse still, each team may deploy their own best practice processes and tools based solely on their requirements, creating a patchwork of methodologies and further fracturing the operating model.
