The Strategy Standards
Cracking the code of successful strategy design to strategy execution with repeatable patterns
There is no question that strategy development and strategy execution is something successful leaders use as a method to bring about a desired future, such as the achievement of a goal or a solution to a problem.
According to our Outperformer Study, ‘companies realize only 24 – 40% of their strategies’, and therefore they are missing out on their real “value potential”. While the cost really matters, this is about lost value in terms of missed opportunities, time to market and increased competition.
Our Strategy Reference Content has been developed to provide you with
- the right tools to solve different strategic challenges,
- close the gap between defining a strategy and executing activities,
- understanding the many complex interconnections and relationships, and
- preparations for dramatic market changes.

The “Change Gap” Triples in Just Two Years
More CEO’s than ever before – 8 in 10 – anticipate turbulent change, and plan bold moves in response.
In two years, the gap between the ability to manage change and the challenge ahead has tripled. The number of companies reporting limited or no success has surged by 60%.
Managing Change Becomes a Core Capability
Companies capable of successfully managing change are hungry for change to push their competitive advantage.
Outperforming organizations are significantly better than their peers at successfully navigating change.
We have researched and analyzed the patterns around strategy and related concepts. Our analysis of outperforming versus underperforming organizations revealed specific patterns for successful outcomes. These patterns have now been documented into sets of repeatable practices with step-by-step and hands-on execution concepts.
These practices include the disruptive forces and trends relevant to ones operating model, the most applicable and fundamental strategies, the critical success factors, the vital capabilities as well as the most common measures/KPIs.
In the following section, you will be able to get access to this reference content as well as work products, based on your specific needs of where you are in your journey.

Understanding the disruptive forces and emerging trends and determine how they might influence the strategy development process as well as how it effects strategy. This is critical, to avoid missed opportunities, unnecessary resource losses and redundant activities. At the same time, some trends may open up for new business opportunities because of potential shifts in consumer demands, technology or government regulations, etc.
Through industry practice, research and analysis, we have discovered hundreds of disruptive forces and emerging trends that influence strategy in all 52 sub industries.
We have three major products around the disruptive forces and trends:
- The first product is a list of the identified forces and trends in a specific industry (of your choice).
- The second product is an onsite executive presentation of the identified forces and trends in a specific industry at a location of your choice.
- The third product is a workshop-based development process where the identified forces and trends in a specific industry are tailored and fitted to your specific organization.
