“The Strategy Execution Barometer™ offers both insightful, innovative and practical approaches to strategy development and execution. Real examples, cross industry data and the line of sight to organisational performance combine to hit the nail on the head with respect to truly useful strategy work”
Martin Pardoe
National HR Manager, Westfield
“It was fascinating to read the similarities of this research that was conducted mainly in Europe and North America compared with ours conducted in Asia and the Middle East over the same nine-year period. The Barometer provides leaders with an outstanding tool and it would be absolutely crazy not to leverage the benchmark at strategy roll-out”
Robin Speculand
CEO, Bridges Business Consultancy
“A breathtakingly vast and informative report that is still easy to understand. It highlights those precise points, which, in my opinion, require more attention during the execution of strategy. A must read for anyone with the word ‘manager’ in his/her title.”
Jari Lahtinen
Senior Specialist of Critical Projects, Nokia
“… (an) extremely granular study on a hot topic. Changing rules, roles and responsibilities in an environment of financial and economic instability, today, even more than ever, requires a strategy with a clear focus and predefined deliverables, including its associated actions. From the individual Balanced Scorecard right up to the view of a multinational corporate, both have one key element in common: it’s all about strategy. This study is a great tool that not only helps to critically analyse one’s own individual behaviours, but also to position a corporate strategy against those of its industry peers across all regions, cultures or industries”
