Creating a Playbook for Strategy Execution 1.5

You are a senior executive leading a business turnaround. Or you have walked into a major initiative that is floundering. Or you have been asked to lead an important initiative from the very beginning. And you are very busy with a very short runway to carry out your mandate. Where do you start and what do you do?

The challenges and dynamics in each situation are slightly different, but one thing stays the same: To capture and communicate your plans to execute strategy, you need a ‘Playbook’ to execute your strategy.

In the context of Strategy Execution, we define a ‘Play’ as a response (strategic or tactical, preemptive or reactive) to a scenario. A ‘Playbook’ is a collection of known and anticipated scenarios and responses to those scenarios. A ‘Playbook’ gives you the baseline to course correct when unanticipated scenarios arise.

Using simple and easy to follow language, this app is your step-by-step introduction to designing and developing your Strategy Execution PlaybookTM. Learn about:
“What is a ‘Playbook’?”
“What are the anchors of Strategy Execution?”

“Culture and Strategy Execution”
“Strategy Execution Map”
“Portfolio, Program and Project Management”
“Key elements of managing Operations”
“Strategy Execution Realities”
“Strategy Execution Framework”
“Next Steps”

There is more than one way to execute your strategy. A Playbook for executing your strategy will help you sort through and articulate your choices. Achieving clarity will lay a strong foundation for dealing with the unknowns and uncertainties of strategy execution.

Use a Playbook to help you articulate your vision. Overcome challenges that seem to be mounting by the day. Stay ahead of your competition. Create and sustain a profitable business model to fulfill the unmet needs found while defining your strategy. Rally your organization, teammates, stakeholders and partners, advocate your vision and collaborate to build solutions.

In short, to produce value and success, create and then execute your strategy.

Note: This App has a lot of content; you may end up reading it over several sessions. Its value lies in reflecting and applying to your situation. A ‘bookmark’ feature will allow you continue from where you stopped. Like a ‘flash card’, there is content on both ‘sides’, use your fingers to ‘swipe up’ or ‘swipe down’ to see both ‘sides’ of the content.
