Description

“…on average, 95% of a company’s employees are unaware of, or do not understand, its strategy”

(From Harvard Business Review, October, 2005, by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton)

The simple answer is that they are making up their own strategies. Or worse, they are undoing the original strategy.

Come listen as we dive into the biggest lessons learned from the people who own strategic execution – the senior leaders who live in the center of it.
