Book Description

Does your business's strategy need a major change in direction but you don't know where to start? Are you trying to implement a new strategy and don't know why it's not working? Are you having trouble getting your people on board with implementing change? Research shows that 67% of strategies fail due to poor implementation. If you are a leader responsible for strategy development and its implementation, this book will greatly improve your odds. Over the years Mike Harley has seen business leaders make every strategy and implementation mistake you can think of, including: thinking setting goals and prioritising initiatives is a strategy addressing symptoms, not the root cause issues in the organisation wasting millions on using big 'consulting' firms not involving frontline staff in the business to reduce implementation risk. Strategisation is packed full of stories from Mike's decades of experience in Australia and organisations around the world. The Strategisation framework recognises that a great strategy is only half the battle; without a team of enthusiastic people to carry it out, it's just words on a page, destined for costly failure.
