Most business strategies fail to produce positive results,. and most strategic goals are not reached as planned. This means that most strategies are dreams that takeaway organizational resources and produce few results.

In this program, we will examine the reasons behind these failures and help you craft and implement strategies that can be put to practice and produce the results you and your organization want. . In short, we will help you fill the space between where you want your organization to be and where it is now: the strategy implementation gap. We will assume that you know where your organization wants to be. We will pay attention to bridging the strategy implementation gap. Consequently, the emphasis of this program will be on strategy development and execution
