For some, generating superior performance is all about execution and leadership. For others, however, strategy is paramount – a prerequisite to producing exceptional performance and, therefore, an advantage that must be continuously improved and periodically renewed.

The best strategies guide and focus the organization’s energy on a selective set of market opportunities and sources of competitive advantage; they reflect proprietary insights into what drives customer and company value; they make the whole worth more than the parts; they are consequential in terms of decision-making, resource allocation and action.

Furthermore, the best companies realize that how a strategy is developed is just as important to execution as the strategy itself. They see strategy development as continuous, decision-focused and economically disciplined. They view executive team engagement as critical to building alignment on the strategy and the thinking behind it, which in turn enables effective execution and rapid response to changes in the environment. They build alignment and understanding through better facts, better choices and better dialogues.
