The strategy accelerator email format

The Strategy Accelerator is a consulting engagement that improves organizational performance. A universal need: Implementation is hard. Most plans fail. It is a rare organization that can’t substantially improve the implementation of its strategy. • Over 50% of responses to disruptions are too late, uncoordinated, or off-strategy. • 70 – 90% of mergers and acquisitions fail to meet their potential. • 50 – 90% of strategic initiatives are considered failures. The Accelerator solution The process begins with a diagnostic on the clarity of the existing strategy and all the potential organizational issues that may be hindering implementation. Working with leadership, we facilitate the categorization of issues by impact and difficulty, resulting in alignment around a specific set of priorities for immediate action. Finally, we support senior teams with training and facilitation tailored to the unique requirement of each type of issue. The Accelerator conducts depth interviews, offers facilitation support, provides curriculum materials, and train-the-trainer services. In summary: • Step 1: Understand the system. Utilize in-depth interviews and analysis to identify implementation barriers • Step 2: Prioritize the issues. Align around a priority grid of the highest leverage opportunities. • Step 3: Support implementation. Learn methods specifically tailored to address the top issues in the grid.
