(excerpt)

Corporate executives can meet for days putting together a strategy that is not only brilliant in concept, but complete in design. A company can have this plan in the palm of their hands, knowing success is imminent if it is properly applied. The problem occurs when this type of plan is executed in a manner that is far less from complete, systematic, or desirable. The opposite can be true as well: Even with the very best team assembled and prepared to begin taking the planned steps toward the goal, if the strategy is lacking, the company and its stakeholders are going to suffer in one way or another.

The solution is simple: By getting your organization’s departments, their routines, and their schedules to coincide with an excellent plan of attack, and if you prioritize the tasks before you properly and with wisdom, you will be able to take successful steps that lead to the end result you and your team are seeking for your organization.
