Continuously executing strategic initiatives is essential in ensuring corporate competitiveness.
The executive team must:
· Engage time, resources, attention
· Align on strategic initiative expectations
· Take accountability for/ownership
· Speak with “one voice” on why doing change and what benefits will come from it…instead of change “doing it to them”
· Transition from strategy to implementation
· Address implementation issues
o Foster transparency (vs. “shoot-the-messenger”)
o Make decisions (vs. committee approach)
o Make timely course corrections (vs. collecting additional information)
o Build mutual trust between business and project
o Collaborate cross-functionally
· Develop the capabilities, processes and tools
· Recognize new ways of working / changed behaviors
