Why is the strategy’s implementation failing to produce the intended results?
The principal causes of deficiencies in strategy execution are as follows:
• The absence of a technology management framework (the company’s GPS) causes a lack of control in steering the execution.
• Refusing to view change as necessary and allowing the status quo to persist.
• A poor balance between RUN and BUILD.
• The absence of management team decision-making meetings leads to a shortage of personal ownership of decisions, ensuring that the implementation fails.
• A change management plan aimed at promoting a collaborative culture of change, not implemented.
• Executives’ ability to react fast is inadequate, to the point where it is one of the key hurdles to agility in execution.
• The executive’s focus on its responsibilities to maintain and/or correct the strategic trajectory until the strategic objectives are met has not been channeled through a clear execution discipline.
How can we bridge the gap between strategic intent, objectives, and the actual results achieved?
Steer the execution of the Strategy.
How can we accelerate the execution of the strategy while engaging the leadership team?
Organizations are increasingly facing the accelerating changes in their environment. Businesses that lack the ability to swiftly adjust will find themselves lagging behind or potentially facing risk.
As for the challenges of the CEO, while he/she often initiates transformation plans/projects, the focus is on successfully directing their teams towards the company’s performance and finding solutions to ensure the achievement of strategic and financial objectives… Collaborative excellence becomes key to making decisions faster, reacting quickly, and being more agile.
However, despite transformation efforts, follow-ups, meetings, dashboards, etc., these CEOs often find themselves facing a lack of responsiveness and agility, failures in executing their strategy, a sluggishness in implementing changes and execution, a kind of dangerous status quo for the survival of the company
Managing the balance between RUN and BUILD
After a while, the gap widens between the strategic direction and the prioritization of actions, which become more complex. In reality, the CEO has failed to establish a dynamic strategy, as the leadership teams lack the ability to make quick decisions and the strategy no longer aligns with decisions and actions.
Without the ability to react quickly, nothing will be done correctly in the execution of your strategy; your organization will be doomed to suffer from market and customer changes; you will then be left behind by the competition; and… the end is near!

Yves Connan
Chairman and CEO of KA MATE Strategy since 2001 and CEO of Steervision LLC since 2015
“There is something worse than bad news: it’s finding out too late!”
Yves Connan’s international reputation for his expertise in strategy execution is such that many CEOs of mid-sized companies and large groups in Europe, America, and Africa seek his services.
He is also a member of Who’s Who France and the Forbes Business Council.
Having highlighted the lack of real means for CEOs to make their strategy dynamic, accelerate its execution, and enhance the overall performance of the company, he sought to address this issue by creating an additional phase in strategy execution to tackle the Achilles’ heel of companies, namely the sttering of execution.
Inspired by his experience with Jack WELCH at GENERAL ELECTRIC, Yves Connan, the change management leader and facilitation expert, is convinced that the execution approach must be top-down.
He founded his strategy and management consulting firm in 2001, and he developed the first concept for CEOs and their executive teams on acceleration and agility in strategy execution.
The strength of the concept lies in its ability to combine a management system, Steer’Executive™, with a strategic steering room, SteerVision Center™, which is the foundation of the Discipline of Executing the Strategy™.
