Tough Times for Top Executives
“Over the past three years, nearly 40 percent of the top 2500 CEOs have been removed from their posts. Nearly all of them, due to a failure to execute the strategy.” Bossidy and Charan
Food for thought “… it is not the lack of a strategy that causes
[Senior Executives] to lose sleep, but rather their organization’s inability to execute against a strategy… ” Booz-Allen & Hamilton
“Having a great strategy is no longer enough – lots of companies can develop great strategies. To win, companies must be able to turn great strategy into great performance. In short, they must be able to execute.” Marion Associates
“Execution is a disciplined process or logical set of connected activities that enables an organization to make its strategy work. Execution can itself be a source of competitive advantage.”Hrebiniak, Making Strategy Work, Wharton

To execute strategy you need to align your strategy, process and people!
How do I know if my company is aligned?
How do I create the alignment I want?
How do I maintain the alignment I want?
The biggest questions facing CEOs today

Impact MeasurementIt’s all about Change
Impact measurement is not about numbers … its about change
Numbers only provide you with a common and specific language
If your clients don’t know you they won’t trust you
Fear of being “found out”
Higher Values for HR
Success for those who: Provide new thinking on old topics Balance increased strategic role with employee
champion role Closely align HR strategies to business needs Navigate hard economic times without damaging
higher order or systems mechanisms Use systems thinking and measurement
(efficiency, effectiveness and impact) Help create systems and process for today’s
realities and deleting systems that do not add value
