Consistent execution fundamentally depends on
being able to answer 3 questions...

1. Are we on track?
2. If we are not on track are we doing something
   about it?
3. In aggregate, will the actions underway get us
   where we want to go?

Business Execution The Potential

• Business Execution can
• Motivate and align every employee
• Eliminate unnecessary internal competition
• Focus energy on real breakthroughs
• Ensure action is followed through
• But ultimate value lies superior results from
  superior execution.....

An organisation which executes well on a mediocre
strategy will always outperform an organisation
that executes badly on the most brilliantly
crafted strategy.
