New Book Reveals Why 90% of Company Strategies Fail and What to Do About It
The Execution Revolution, written by experienced management consultant Johan Grönstedt, dissects the reasons why the majority of company strategies fail to achieve their objectives. It shares the author’s unique methodology for strategy execution that emphasises the importance of prioritization, actionability and digital acceleration as the levers behind scalable success in an increasingly disrupted business environment.
Research has shown that a staggering 90% of strategic initiatives fail to achieve their projected financial gains within the expected timeframe. And only 13% of employees have a clear understanding of their company’s most important priorities. These shocking findings emphasise the critical need for a new model to lead the charge against the tide of strategic failures that plague modern corporations.
Johan Grönstedt says: “My journey has been defined by the quest to bridge the gap between strategic theories and their real-world application. Traditional methods often falter in the digital age, which led me to author The Execution Revolution. This book is a manifesto for a new era of strategy execution—one that leverages digital enablement with modern methodologies to bring strategies to life swiftly, efficiently, and with compelling engagement."
By combining theoretical insights with practical application, Grönstedt aims to inspire leaders to adopt a focused, less-is-more approach to achieving strategic goals. His streamlined and potent methodology consists of four components – Most Important Goals, Strategic Initiatives, Key Activities and Strategy Stand-Ups. The author also looks at the key role digital acceleration plays in the successful execution of strategies.
Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret, Drive, and To Sell Is Human says about the book: “In The Execution Revolution, Johan Grönstedt presents a compelling case for focus in an age of distraction. His insights on prioritization and commitment culture will reshape how you think about strategy. And his framework will help you turn ambitious goals into tangible results.”
