Strategy | Coaching for Strategy Execution

“Are you clear on the direction you want to take the business but can’t seem to get employees engaged or executing the strategy?"

This is where the real work gets done….implementation.  Unfortunately, once a small business makes a plan, the chaos of everything around it gradually erodes those plans.  Studies indicate that up to 90% of strategies fail due to lack of execution and that 85% of leadership teams spend less than one hour per month discussing strategy!

Our discipline in execution includes a plan of Executive Coaching for the business owner, to keep them focused on the plan and motivated to lead their team through the implementation. This is critical because people go in the direction leadership is walking, not pointing.

And we provide Implementation Coaching for the management team which includes a series of regular, on-going sessions to bring accountability and monitoring to the process.

Through the use of our One Page Business Plan web-based system, we provide your entire team with Scorecard and Progress Reporting capabilities, which insure that everyone on the team is bought into the Objectives and Action Plans.

As Michael Porter said, “strategy demands discipline and continuity; its enemies are distraction and compromise. “  By monitoring the implementation on a regular basis, obstacles to the implementation of the plan can be identified and solved before they can sabotage the entire effort.
