How Strong Are Your Strategy Execution Capabilities?

  • Spend a few minutes finding out how good your execution capabilities are where your strategy is at risk.

How often do teams meet to talk about goal progress, work priorities and challenges?

Weekly

Ad Hoc

Rarely

If you’re not regularly reviewing your goals, you’re not fully informing your decisions. Regular progress assessments allow us to determine whether we’ve chosen the best course of action.

What proportion of time are the people you've made responsible for delivering your top priorities working on them?

All

Some

None

When your team focuses solely on your highest priorities, achieving your goals becomes more likely. Conversely, if these priorities compete with many other ‘important’ tasks, progress is likely to suffer.

How frequently have you stopped projects that aren’t delivering outcomes?

Frequently

Rarely

Never

Recognising when a project will fail to meet our goals is key to strategic success. An organisation’s agility and ability to thrive in a changing world are demonstrated by confidently halting these projects, even after significant investment.

Do you employ experimental language and methods to test your strategic concepts? e.g. a stated hypothesis with a definition of success and failure.

Yes

No

It is an uncomfortable truth that many of our ideas will not work. Short feedback loops in the form of experiments are the best way to reject the failed ideas quickly. Great outcomes come from connected innovative experiments that build confidence while understanding and managing risk.

Using evidence and data is essential to eliminate bias in decision-making. It helps us prioritise our actions and assess their success.

Congratulations. You are not a victim of the sunk cost fallacy. By keeping outcomes front of mind and using evidence to end failing initiatives you are setup for success. Further shortening of your feedback cycle will bring even greater rewards.
You have shown foresight by cancelling failed projects in a timely fashion. To take the next step, frequently use evidence to see if an approach is worth continuing with. Adapting to change is more important than ever. We can help put this practise in place.
