Greetings<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Is 2013’s silver bullet<\/span><\/strong> created by focussing on how a business executes<\/span><\/strong> strategy?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My pioneering experience, has shown that lasting business value is <\/span>\"Tomcreated in the way<\/span><\/strong> in which strategy is executed<\/span><\/strong>. If you get the strategy execution right, cultures permanently change, making strategy and execution unstoppable and a way of life. This way of working enables the people in the business to deliver really remarkable financial results from that point onwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet – A March 2013 survey of 600 global executives concluded that only 13%<\/span><\/strong> of businesses rated themselves as the best at executing strategy<\/span><\/strong>. These best executors were 47% ahead on the financial benchmarks and 45% were ahead in that their business models were aligned with their strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To investigate this fascinating opportunity and identify the main actions to close the gap, I have created this survey to get your input<\/span><\/strong>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Early indications are highlighting some exciting results<\/span><\/strong>; simple things that can be done to completely transform a business and enable it to become a great place to work and attract the best.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your input is equally valuable regardless of your perspective; employee, director, professional, senior executive, one man band. I would greatly appreciate it if you could spend 20-30 minutes to complete this survey, and trust this will be your time well spent. It requires some thought so please persevere,<\/span><\/strong> as new thinking<\/span><\/strong> is how capability is built and for the FDs amongst you, where the money is.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take this survey<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\n\n\n
\n

I expect to present these results at a Strategy Execution Summit of business leaders in October. As it is related to the same subject, I would be very grateful if you could also take the last 5 minutes to cover the last few questions, so I can take your advice<\/span><\/strong> on which areas I should change too.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In return for the time you spend completing this; I will send you the fascinating results.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In anticipation, thank you<\/span><\/strong> for your contribution and I very much appreciate your input and advice which I hope you can complete by the cut off date next Friday 30th August<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With thanks and best wishes<\/span><\/p>\n
