“It’s not our strategy that’s the problem; it’s our execution of it!”
Sound familiar? The challenge of executing strategy effectively is the number one issue facing CEOs worldwide, according to the 2007 CEO Conference Board survey. The 2008 North American Summit: Achieving the Execution Premium - Linking Strategy and Operations is the largest, most prestigious gathering of senior executives from the US and international organizations committed to managing and executing strategy to realize an execution premium.
An Execution Premium is defined as the extraordinary value created – including increased share price, revenue, profit, customer loyalty, employee commitment, or brand value – by doing the right things right!
Those companies that have a management cycle that links strategy and operations, and know what tools to apply at each stage of the cycle will effectively execute their strategy and accelerate performance. Companies that do not, often find themselves caught up in operational issues that take the focus off of executing their strategy for long-term success in the marketplace. We welcome you to join us in San Diego to understand the strategy execution framework that can help your organization successfully link strategy to operations and achieve your execution premium.
NEW! MASTER CLASS AT THE 2008 SUMMIT WITH DRS KAPLAN AND NORTON
Delegates will have the opportunity to enroll in an exclusive optional pre-conference Master Class offered on November 3 – 4 and taught by the creators of the Balanced Scorecard, Drs Robert Kaplan and David Norton. This program provides direct access to the strategy execution gurus who will walk delegates through each stage of their new management system and explore the process for linking strategy to operations in detail as presented in their new book, The Execution Premium: How to Link Strategy to Operations for Competitive Advantage. Delegates will also have the opportunity to participate in interactive troubleshooting sessions with Drs Kaplan and Norton during the class.
The day and a half spent with the experts will provide an excellent foundation to the 2008 North American Summit where we will expand on the framework and process presented at the Master Class by showcasing best practice case studies and industry leader presentations.
