Strategy Acceleration is an approach to executing strategies that recognizes the need for change, orchestrates the needed change, allocates the needed resources and manages the execution process. This approach to strategy execution arises from recognition that one of the major causes of execution failure is a fragmented or partial commitment to achieving goals. It also arises from recognition that organizations today must respond to more change and more radical change, and must respond faster and more comprehensively than at any other time.

In short, Strategy Acceleration can do several things for your organization:

o Help you manage the risk of new initiatives
o Help you evaluate opportunities for competitive advantage
o Allocate the resources needed to succeed and better use available resources
o Develop actionable processes and plans and successfully deliver high-quality programs and projects
o Build buy-in and engagement of key employees
o Develop appropriate recognition and reward systems
o Implement and achieve strategies faster
o Reduce the likelihood of wasting resources invested
o Reduce the cost of change through improved control
o Improve ROI on talent development with improved focus
o Improve change-readiness and accelerate acceptance of change
o Improve communication to gain organizational focus and buy-in
o Identify the mission-critical initiatives that will deliver your business plan and your strategy
