Turning Strategy into Results

Learn how to close the gap between planning and execution in your organization
Creating a strategy is just one step on the road to success. To see results, we must also be able to effectively implement that strategy. That’s easier said than done. Today, only 40 per cent of organizations say they are successful at achieving their strategic objectives; 30 years ago, the success rate was 90 per cent.
Why do so many firms struggle to achieve their strategic goals? What steps can managers and team members take to close the gap between strategy and execution?
Join Smith Business Insight and Queen’s Executive Education for this free 60-minute webinar when results of a five-year study of more than 1,000 organizations will be shared and best practices discussed to help leaders translate their best-laid plans into real business results. Led by Kathryn Brohman, associate professor of digital technology, and Barry Cross, assistant professor of operations strategy at Smith School of Business, you’ll gain a new mindset around strategic execution.
You will learn:
• Key insights from five years of research identifying barriers to strategy execution
• Common mistakes companies make in trying to achieve their strategies
• How to integrate strategic planning and leadership to make things happen
• Leadership behaviours critical to overcoming common barriers and driving results
• A new way of thinking about strategic execution
This session will be of special interest to leaders accountable for delivering on business objectives and anyone interested in how to effectively lead people to drive better results at work.
