At ParCon, our experience validates studies showing that only 1 in 10 strategies succeed, and that in over 70% of the cases, bad strategy execution is at fault. We have entered countless engagements to find elegant strategic plans - often the result of expensive consulting engagements - that are gathering dust on the shelf. The reason we’re given: “We just couldn’t execute.”
At the heart of this dismal record of success is a simple but profound insight:
- Strategy is about systematically changing the business
- Operations is about running the business
- Most organizations muddle strategy execution with operational execution
- When the two compete for focus and resources, operational priorities and “firefighting” win out 90% of the time
ParCon dramatically enhances our clients’ success in strategy execution by helping them build the systems and discipline to manage strategy and operations separately but simultaneously. This lies at the heart of our approach to strategic planning and management system. And it is why ParCon’s approach to strategy execution takes hold, where others fail 9 times out of 10.
