Bookable Workshop:

Improve your strategy delivery

 – but you have to think BIG

Strategy development and delivery is not perfect in many organisations - there are many reports which enumerate our strategy delivery success rates.


At two recent workshops, we asked "What reasons have you encountered for why strategies have not been delivered?" - we have collated around 150 points from current practitioners. You can access the event report here

In essence, the key reasons included:

  • Unresponsive or uncommunicated strategy formulation
  • Multiple strategies difficult to integrate
  • Absence of framework for prioritising BAU, Change and Value generation
  • Inability to set up and manage accountability
  • No common approach to managing dependencies or resources / funds across BAU, Change and Value generation
  • Lack of assurance capability to check the right things are being done the right way
  • Limited of business support resources to orchestrate decision making
  • Information infrastructure just not prepared for integrated governance

It is almost as if some of us expect strategy delivery to happen just by magic. Well the reality is it won't happen by magic - and - evidentially it isn't happening by magic - so we need some Honest Engineering!


The trouble is - many of us can like a compromise, and we can be forced to cope within our circumstances and sphere of influence. We think we can do something expedient and we'll cope. We all come at issues from our own perspectives and do the best we can - but sometimes we just need someone to 'hover up above' and join things up. Which brings us onto the session content - some Honest Engineering.

ISO 37000 - Governance of Organizations was released in September 2021 and provides language structure and principles to run your organisations by. It is well written and from very respected sources. It has a core component which covers strategy - but the reality is - we need an ecosystem, not just a strategy 'bodge'...


...Which is why we need to think BIG. The Business Integrated Governance model is a framework to operate with, to help us organise ourselves for success. The heart of it is accountability and governance, but it covers organisation, data, information, business support, assurance, and an integrated strategy development and delivery model. A version of it has been shared with Praxis, and can be used with tried and tested delivery methods out of the Praxis Framework.

This event can be booked and run for your organisation to enable a shared understanding of typical problems with strategy delivery, and provide an introduction to the frameworks and approach to achieve better strategy outcomes with greater agility, efficiency and effectiveness.


Target audience:

  • Strategic Leadership and Support Functions
  • Change Portfolio Leadership and Support Functions
  • Transformation Professionals
