Deep Dive: What Strategy Actually Requires

In this Deep Dive, we move beyond clarity and examine what it actually takes to achieve strategic objectives in practice.

Strategy introduces new demands on the organization. But those demands are not always made explicit.

• What capabilities are required?

• Where do decisions sit?

• How does the organization need to change?

When these questions remain under-defined, more effort is needed to compensate. Strategy does not break on intent. It breaks on not understanding what it needs.
