– Exclusive to Henley Partnership members –
It’s often said that making strategy is easy, but implementing it is the real challenge.
This webinar offers a deep dive into the world of execution and making things happen. We will explore the ‘hardware’ as well as the ‘software’ of organisations, and the unique inertial challenges that leaders must confront in order to drive performance. War stories from the field, underpinned by a tried and tested framework, will give you a structured approach for assessing your organisation’s current reality and desired state, helping you to identify key actions.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the event you will:
- Know the common failures in implementation of strategy
- Have a framework for a systemic approach to effective execution
- Be equipped with learning from the successes and failures of other organisations
- Understand your role as a leader in implementing strategy
Who should attend?
Senior managers currently engaged with strategy implementation should attend this event, especially if they are seeing a gap between expectations and reality.
