WHY STRATEGY EXECUTION IS SO HARD. Developing a brilliant strategy is a numbers game. It takes vision, experience and confidence but in the end, it s a decision based on hard data and calculated assumptions made by one CEO or a small executive team. Making it happen is a people game. It requires every employee to understand what the new strategy means for their role. To be inspired by it. To be willing to change deeply ingrained habits and behaviors to deliver it. There is no magic bullet. It s a challenging journey and everyone must come along. 5
