Executing Your Strategy: Keys to Transformational Change
Sponsored by: 
Health care leaders have been working feverishly to recraft strategy to transform their organizations and compete in a landscape that morphs almost daily. Now comes the hard part: ensuring that the strategy is executed.
Strategy execution remains one of the most important facets of transformational change; yet many hospital, health system and other business leaders continue to have difficulty in this area. Without proper execution, even the best strategic plans will fail. A survey of business leaders published in the Harvard Business Review illustrates the challenge:
- Only 16% of top leaders were rated very effective at either strategy or execution.
- Only 8% were rated very effective at both.
- 63% were rated neutral or worse on at least one dimension of strategy or execution.
