In my previous blog, I outlined important principles of aligning teams around clear goals. An important element was to establish a clear line of sight to each goal. I also mentioned that a team’s line of sight is usually clear after sufficient discussion and alignment around the goals. However, this is more complicated for large organizations. Therefore I’ll explore here how to align the whole organization around shared objectives.

Turning a group of employees into a high-performing strategy execution team is profitable more than just monetarily. It’s a win for the team members themselves; aligned, high-performing teams turn ordinary people to into local heroes. And it forges the way for even greater success as the Strategy Execution Management team’s example spreads throughout the organization.

A very common question is, what is a critical success factor? The short answer is that a critical success factor, or key success factor, is an expected success one is seeking.

Major digital strategy trends are emerging in the way strategy is formulated, executed, and governed. In 2023 and beyond, traditional ways of working with strategy will give way to a totally different set of processes, measurements, reporting, and governance. The old “spreadsheets and status meetings” method is already obsolete. This will require changing habits and replacing them with new ways of tracking the progress of business strategies.
