Strategy Execution Barometer – Expanded Edition

The new Strategy Execution Barometer is now available!

The last few years have been some of the most tumultuous in recent economic history. Not only has the global recession continued, but the imbalance between the speed of change in the emerging markets and the European and US economies has greatened.

Companies today are faced with several tough strategy and Strategy Execution challenges. Over the last 14 months, we have researched what is happening out there, which trends really matter and those that are merely noise or hype.

STRATEGY EXECUTION BAROMETER

You can find the result in our new, expanded edition of the Strategy Execution Barometer. In this sixth edition, you will find, besides our trusted benchmark data, 23 pages with the 9 strategy and Strategy Execution trends to watch as we approach 2020.

The official launch will take place in two weeks (the editor is finalising the hard copy version), but you will get a sneak preview here.  To all those who helped and shared their views: THANK YOU.
