Strategy: From the Consulting Revolution to the Execution Framework

More than 90% of business strategies fail before they re even out of the gate. Why? Because they lack a critical component: the execution mindset. Even worse? Most of these same strategies are obsolete before they reach the implementation phase. [Strategy: From the Consulting Revolution to the Execution Framework] offers an essential roadmap for business leaders looking to overcome these barriers and reach their goals.

But what if history can do more than help avoid prior mistakes? What if it holds the key to future business success? While many books address strategic planning, [Strategy: From the Consulting Revolution to the Execution Framework] is the only one of its kind to trace the origins and evolution of strategic planning, assess how key influencers, trends and events revolutionized the discipline of strategy, and how consulting firms built the discipline that is called Strategy and that is widely used today by every organization in the world.

Therefore, in defining the problem along with typical stumbling points along the way, the book guides business leaders toward the vision of an actionable framework in which they finally stop being planning-focused only and start adopting an execution mindset which puts follow-through where it belongs.
