Execution
Strategy execution services covering the program management office, strategy execution support and interim executive support, with delivery tracked through to the P&L.
Overview
Most strategies do not fail at the point of decision. They fail afterwards, when management teams get pulled back into running the business, cross-functional initiatives fall between seats, and the benefits arrive late or not at all.
We stay on the work. That means a plan, a team, and a way of tracking it, run with proprietary tools and templates so delivery starts in the first week rather than the second month.
On execution and value creation engagements, clients typically see a 40 to 100 times return on our fees.
Execution services
Usually one of them to begin with, and often two by the end of the program.
Governance, cadence and reporting for a program with more initiatives than the executive can keep in view at once.
Assuring the delivery of complex strategy, from the board decision to the P&L line.
Senior capability in the seat for as long as the program needs it.
How the work runs
Mixed teams, with your people seconded in. That is what makes the change last after we leave.
The operating model, the cost base and the current run-rate, evidenced rather than asserted.
Value creation ordered by size and by difficulty, with responsibilities allocated clearly.
A metric-driven agile rhythm that surfaces problems early, while they are still cheap.
Benefits followed through to the point they show in the accounts, which is usually some time after the initiative is signed off.
The method, written up
The method set down in full, sent by email on request.
The reasons implementation stalls, and the framework in full.
Starting a conversation
Most execution work begins with a short conversation about what has already been tried, and where the program is currently losing time.
