You have crafted a strategy and identified how your organization will differentiate itself from the competition. You have committed to competing in a digital and sustainable world, and you are focused on adding value to your customers, shareholders, employees and society at large.

Now you must implement your strategy.

Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez and Robin Speculand, co-founders of the Strategy Implementation Institute and Harvard Business Review and number one Amazon bestseller respectively, present the Institute's body of knowledge to support leaders to succeed in implementing their strategy.

Implementation rarely goes according to plan. At the Strategy Implementation Institute, their purpose is to develop implementation professionals worldwide. Recognizing that implementations fail more often than they succeed, they wrote this Strategy Implementation Playbook to provide you the step-by-step guidance to succeed.

Why Do Leaders Need This Playbook?

Leaders have been taught how to plan but not how to implement, leaving a critical skills gap. Organizations that continue to repeat past implementation mistakes need new thinking and approaches. Leaders have to do better at communicating strategy throughout the implementation journey. Change management approaches and especially one-size-fits-all solutions do not work for implementing strategy.

This Playbook guides you to close the strategy implementation skills gap. Structured around the propriety Strategy Implementation Road Map(SIR)(c), it is packed with easy-to-adopt tools, tips and techniques, external articles, references, and video links. You can use it as a reference to implement your strategy and/or as a body of knowledge for the Strategy Implementation Institute's Professional and Fellowship courses.
