Description

Still in our days the 90% of corporate strategies fails not for a wrong definition of them but for a lack of ability to focus and / or a superficial planning and evaluation of their operational feasibility.

The Execution approach (“the discipline of getting things done”) wants to respond to this challenge, considering the three key macro-processes of each company, the strategic, the operational and the management of the human resources, in a strictly integrated way, in order to get a breakthrough improvement of the business performance, both in the whole organisation and in the single process.

In particular, the Execution oriented approach develops around some key points:

  • focusing on what is really important for the sustainable growth of the company, aware of the finiteness of the resources;
  • adoption of a style of leadership and an engaging corporate culture for all employees in a few clear priorities on which it’s important to act simultaneously;
  • actions and initiatives that are measured with clear and monitored indicators;
  • a widespread responsibility in an environment that enhances the free creativity of those who work there.

It is then supported by the use of the most appropriate tools and methodologies according to the different specific situations faced, such as Scenario Planning, SWOT Analysis, Lean Organization, Value Stream Analysis, Six Sigma, World Class Manufacturing, the Theory Of Constraints (TOC), the Balanced Scorecard, etc…

All this is enabled by emerging digital technologies that provide interconnection and multichannel communication in an integrated way with the traditional physical world. The objective of the Execution Improvement is the development of an agile and resilient company, able to change quickly and innovate, also leveraging skills and resources that are external to the organization (open innovation), and also able to reach and retain the best talent and the target clients through the most appropriate channels by reducing costs (including energy) of operating processes and maximizing the effectiveness of the investments. A company attentive to the social responsibility, intended as an element of competitiveness aimed at sustainable growth.
