ccording to many CEO surveys, 90% of employees don't understand their organization's strategy and 95% of organizations do not execute their strategy successfully. Is this a product of flawed strategy or failed execution? The answer of course is that both strategy and execution are often inadequate and more importantly, an insurmountable gap exists between strategic intent and execution at the front lines of most companies. Even with a solid strategy in place, most staff cannot understand how their actions impact the ultimate strategy of the organization. This uncertainty is frustrating for staff and managers, especially as the world seems to be in a constant state of change and demands are ever increasing. Added to the uncertainty is the overwhelming sense that everything is a top priority.
