Strategy Execution Heroes: Business Strategy Implementation and Strategic Management Demystified, a practical performance management guidebook for the successful leader Book

"Our world is facing uncertainties never seen before. Designing winning strategies, as tough as it can be, is only part of the challenge facing senior management. The most difficult part is to continuously translate our strategy into superior performance at all levels of our organisations. That's what this book is all about: tips and tricks to get things done" Gérard Mestrallet - CEO - GDF SUEZ "This book absolutely nails the three things every manager needs to know about strategy - execution, execution, execution!" Bill Saubert - Regional Business Leader Australia/New Zealand - MasterCard Advisors "Strategy Execution Heroes is a wonderfully written and well-organised book with a clear commonsense approach to strategy implementation. It is a must-read for any manager regardless of position or years of experience" Michael Benavente - Managing Director Watches - Gucci "Organisations have become very aware that much great strategy is lost before it's turned into performance, mainly as a result of poor execution skills. This book is a significant step towards addressing that gap: it takes strategy to the manager level, providing practical everyday recipes to make sure that the `big picture' does not remain a boardroom abstraction" Bruno Lanvin - Executive Director, eLab - INSEAD "Strategy Execution Heroes provides leaders with a practical strategy execution how-to guide which includes a brilliant summary of Jeroen's personal experiences combined with an extensive collection of best practices from leading experts in this field" Martin Jensen - Head of North America LTE Services - Nokia Siemens Networks "Strategy Execution Heroes is a refreshingly different approach to strategy implementation. In an extremely pragmatic and actionable way, it puts managers and their individual roles at the centre of the execution pathway rather than the organisation and its systems. Well worth reading!" Michel HOFLAND - Finance Director - L'Oreal "Strategy is a fascinating field, but time and time again we see brilliant strategies fall down due to poor execution. Strategy Execution Heroes really hits the spot by showing what can be done to drive successful execution. I highly recommend this book to strategists and business leaders striving for maximum impact" Bart Sweerman - Senior Director Internet Business Solutions Group - Cisco "Even the best strategy is worthless if you are unable to get it implemented. Execution is key and Strategy Execution Heroes explains how to do it" Matthieu Crépey - Director of International Business Development, Petit Bateau "This book takes a refreshingly different approach to Strategy Execution. Most importantly, it is hands-on and presents new perspectives on known problems. Inspiring input for practitioners!" Prof. Dr Frederik Ahlemann - European Business School Germany "Strategy Execution Heroes takes a different approach to all other books that I have read on Strategy Execution. Most importantly, it focuses on the manager and his individual role in the implementation of strategy rather than on the organisation. A breath of fresh air!" Thilo Kusch - CFO and Board member - Magyar Telecom "This book is a compelling read that drives right to the heart of successful and flawless strategy execution. Many other strategy books float in the clouds of organizational theory, but this is what we really need - practical, specific and hard-hitting direction and real-life advice" Jeffrey Stephen Kehoe - Regional Head Bancassurance Asia - AXA "Practical, structured and with proven advice; exactly what a manager needs" Karel Van Eetvelt - Managing Director - UNIZO "Strategy Execution Heroes helps you build the foundation to champion and communicate strategy within your company. And it contains great insights from well known executives that I found immediately helpful for my organisation" Phillip Shoemaker - Director Applications Technology - Apple "Strategy Execution Heroes gives a pragmatic series of hands-on tips and tricks to help implement your ideas. Not all of them fit my situation. However, those which do are absolute breakthroughs!" Armin Knapp - Senior Controller - Salzgitter AGRead More
