Connecting strategy to execution
Successful execution begins with the understanding that planning is a "results oriented process". Both the call-to-action in the planning process and the subsequent results are measurable at the operational level. These operational metrics help define the gap from your current-to-desired state and from the achieved-to-intended state.
Understanding what you can control is a critical part of the planning process. The key to finding results is to properly understand what can be controlled, and how to control it - and having clarity into what will impact results. Then, by taking deliberate calculated steps you will control your business and watch the results take shape.
