Strategic effectiveness is an organization’s ability to set the right goals and consistently achieve them.
Organizations with high strategic effectiveness:
- Quickly formulate a “good enough” strategic plan.
- Move immediately to implementation — letting implementation teach them the ways that the strategy is on target and ways it needs to be improved.
- Review progress on implementation regularly with honesty and candor.
- Make needed adjustments based on what is working, what isn’t and how the world has changed.
- Focus on results, not activities.
