Shift: A New Mindset for Sustainable Execution

Organizations all too often create impressive strategies but fail at implementing them. Based on research with over 750 organizations, SHIFT describes specific tools and frameworks that will help leaders "shift" into more sustainable and dynamic execution practices. With the importance of energy management in mind, SHIFT is divided into four applicable sections - identifying execution barriers, filling the gaps, removing distractions, the sustainable execution leader - that will assist organizations to identify a need, design a pathway for improvement, and lay the framework for sustainable and successful execution. Using a novel performance indicator, called "The Cost of Execution" authors compare and contrast organizations, departments and business units that execute strategy successfully with those who only experience short-term results. SHIFT includes multiple real case studies and describes specific tools and techniques that will help organization satisfy the business demands of today and adapt to embrace the challenges of tomorrow.
