Recommendation

Many executives can envision how their companies can reach higher goals, but they fail to implement their ideas. Why? It’s not bad vision; it’s bad execution. Accomplishing projects is challenging in companies of any size, so Alan Brache and Sam Bodley-Scott provide a blueprint for getting your initiatives implemented. They move through various strategies and tactics using charts, checklists and case histories. This somewhat dry manual is specifically for executives and managers who want to implement solutions for failing or failed corporate initiatives, and who seek good advice. getAbstract endorses it as a handy reference for managers and executives who have grand visions, but need good execution to achieve them.

Take-Aways

  • A project is “a set of interdependent nonrepetitive activities directed toward a goal.”
  • To develop a strategic initiative, state the project’s scope so everyone knows its boundaries, goals and benefits. The rest depends on implementation.
  • Strategy is a set of choices that determines an organization’s direction, reflects its core competencies, and concentrates its employees’ attention and resources.
