Blue Note Consultants

Blue Note Consultants helps companies succeed with Strategy Execution by building Execution Leadership Excellence. Research by Harvard Business Review shows that poor execution robs companies of 40–60% of their strategic potential. It is an alarming failure rate, and the need to execute strategy properly has only increased in today's fast-paced and unpredictable business environment. We therefore challenge conventional approaches - relying primarily on top-down mandates and implementation of strategic initiatives - and advocates for a new approach called Promise-Based Execution (PBE) that focuses on the commitments that people make to each other to achieve specific goals. It is based on the idea that people are more likely to follow through on their commitments when they have a personal stake in the outcome - when we make a promise, we put ourselves on the line or what the authors call “The Emotional Power of Promises”. Engaging people in Strategy Execution requires Execution leadership at all levels. At its core, PBE is about building reliability and trust through ownership and personal accountability. It is about creating a culture in which all employees deliver on their promises and feel motivated to do whatever it takes. Just think about what that kind of company culture could do to your business. So, if you want to know “How to Engage Your People in Strategy Execution and Leverage the Power of Promises to Deliver Great Results “ - just reach out to us. From our office in Copenhagen, Denmark we are serving medium-sized to larger organisations in realising their full strategic potential. We partner with two of the leading global thought leaders in Strategy Execution Prof. Jeroen De Flander and Dr. Rebecca Homkes.
