Synopsis

On average, companies loose 40 to 60 percent of their strategic potential during execution. Image the amount of money you could save by closing that gap. But in order to take the next step - to close that gap - organisations need a more detailed view on exactly where they are losing performance. Knowing that your organisation loses between 40 and 60 percent of its strategic potential on the execution highway between the city 'strategy' and the city 'performance', is an interesting fact but doesn't really help solve your problem. Our latest research -- the Strategy Execution Barometer Expanded Edition -- helps you get the job done. Since 2001, the Strategy Execution Barometer has been the leading resource worldwide for practical, fact-based Strategy Execution market data. It provides you with detailed information to evaluate the execution capabilities of your organisation. Over the last 14 months, we have researched for the sixth time what is happening out there, which trends really matter and those that are merely noise or hype. In this new, expanded edition, we have added 23 pages that explain in detail the nine biggest strategy and Strategy Execution trends that you should take into account when building your 2020 vision. They are: Strategy and Innovation - Trend 1: Shared Value: a new approach to capitalism - Trend 2: China: your double-digit profit growth factory? - Trend 3: Innovation execution: a new success ingredient discovered People and Organisations - Trend 4: More and more complex organisational structures - master the matrix - Trend 5: The talent pool: specialisation and globalisation - Trend 6: From time management to energy management Skills and Motivation - Trend 7: Leadership programmes: execution skills in the picture - Trend 8: People development changes radically - Trend 9: Individual performance cycle goes agile Besides this new section, you will find our trusted benchmark data: - Strategy Execution data from 1400+ companies, 36 countries and 23 sectors - 30 key findings with experts' comments - 12 insights (to learn) from the best-in-class - 53 figures with comprehensive market data - Detailed gap analysis between average performers and the best-in-class

About this title

From the Inside Flap

"This report gives a good insight into the matter at hand. It provides concrete opportunities for building a comprehensive framework to implement performance management and can be used as a roadmap to actually implement strategic topics"

Kristof Luys | HR Manager | TerBeke-Pluma

"A very insightful report that reflects everyday realities at the ground level. It also makes you realise that you are not alone in facing the problems of implementing your company strategy. I have been able to use this report as a benchmark to improve my organisation's performance management process"

Dr. Mohammed Ilyas | Manager Economics and Business Support | SABIC

"This report offers a true benchmark for us with regards to other large international companies. It allows us to compare ourselves to both the average and the best-in-class so we know exactly where we stand and how we should act accordingly"

Bart Ponsioen | Senior Associate | ING

"Thanks a lot for this report. We just started a strategy redefinition project in our group for which I'm taking the lead. I'm sure that the information contained in the report will help us do things the right way."

Jan Van Rooy | Director Research & Development | Van Ameyde International

"Performance described in three words: 'today, better tomorrow'"

Tobias Kuners of koenders | Director Program Management Europe | Wolters Kluwer

"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"

Hans Sawatzki | Senior Sales Consultant | ING
