Execution
Finance for the

The Art of Effective and Efficient Execution
The task of executing strategies and major
projects in today’s business environment is
substantial. Studies conducted by McKinsey and
the Harvard Business School have shown that
the average firm achieves less than 65% of its
strategic plan and 90% of these failures are due
to a lack of execution. Why? The major reasons
include ineffective leadership and underdeveloped organizational capabilities.

leadership insights and the ability to recognize
