Furthermore by resourcing change traditionally with project managers, most solutions almost exclusively miss the opportunity to transform capability and culture concurrently with strategy execution. \u00a0As change is at the core of a business\u2019s learning and value add, it follows that strategy execution could be treated like a core capability and silver bullet created and refined through this focal role. \u00a0It follows too that \u201cchange\u201d does not need to imply major programs, as when a business is quiet this role would be seen as a supportive catalyst to raise the bar and support adding value at business unit level. \u00a0The core value of this role is to get the process of change right as an enabler to realise the strategy itself, as well as concurrently transforming management capability and business culture.<\/p>\n<p>There too is a void that needs filling between the strategy and the strategic execution. Strategic execution is far more complex to realise. 65% of the best companies at executing change deliver better financial results than their peers.
